Protein is intimately involved in life processes. In this program we look at amino acids, protein structure and introduce enzymes.
15:00
The huge reliance on petrochemicals, not only for fuels, but also for a multitude of compounds from plastics to insecticides.
14:00
The story of the glucose polymers cellulose and starch. Why starch is digestible by humans but cellulose is not?; and the discovery of nitrocellulose and its importance. Definition of thermo plastics, thermosets, and more.
15:00
Basic introduction to electrons and the octet rule. Polar versus non polar bonds. Non-polar hydrocarbons are not soluble in water; the attachment of polar groups renders them so substitute groups create other families.

15:00
Carbon's place on the periodic table. Consolidation of valency. The logic of the alkane family. Alkane isomers. IUPAC name system. A brief look at other hydrocarbon families, alkenes, alkynes. The case of benzene.
14:00
The origin of organic chemistry; the death of Vitalism; the complexity of organic compounds; the concept of valency; Kekule's structural diagrams; and basic carbon chains.
