Lecture Notes CEM351 SS 2025

(General Chemistry Review: View these YouTube Videos)

NOTE: None of these videos features Prof. Kevin Walker or MSU Chemistry T.A.s. These are select videos from YouTubers that provide a great review of what was learned in General Chemistry, or the videos are instructional. However, for CEM 351, it is assume that you have have taken General Chemistry. These video packs provide different viewpoints and styles of delivery of overlapping material.

Video Pack 1 (3 Parts)

1)    General Chemistry Review for Organic Chemistry Part 1 - YouTube

2)    General Chemistry Review for Organic Chemistry Part 2 - YouTube

3)    General Chemistry Review for Organic Chemistry Part 3 - YouTube

Video Pack 2 (1 Part: recommended to watch in 20 min segments, so the over 1 hr of material is not overwhelming)

1)    General Chemistry Review for Organic Chemistry - YouTube

Functional Groups (Identifying them) – Prof. Walker won’t cover functional groups explicitly in class – it would be redundant to what’s available, so watching this video is pertinent to learn them!

Friday, September 18, 2023 (see notes from Friday (September 15, 2023)

Video: (September 18, 2023) – the camera system cannot stay focused on one subject, so this session is essentially an audio video to help you supplement the notes that you wrote in class.

 

Alkane Naming Practice(CORRECTION): try to work without looking at the answer when naming via the systematic process without using common names or via the method where common names for substituents are allowed.
