This free online chemistry course discusses organic compounds' representation, structural isomerism and stereoisomerism. The secret behind nature's choice of carbon to be the basis for all organic compounds is its ability to combine with many other atoms. In this course, you will learn more about organic compounds, different ways to represent them, and naming conventions. You'll look into the properties of various structural isomers and stereoisomers. Discover how covalent bonds of organic compounds break either by homolytic or heterolytic fission.
