Overall Expectations
By the end of this course, students will:
B1. assess the social and environmental impact of organic compounds used in everyday life, and propose a course of action to reduce the use of compounds that are harmful to human health and the environment;
B2. investigate organic compounds and organic chemical reactions, and use various methods to represent the compounds;
B3. demonstrate an understanding of the structure, properties, and chemical behaviour of compounds within each class of organic compounds.

Specific Expectations
By the end of this course, students will:
B1.1 assess the impact on human health, society and the environment of organic compounds used in everyday life (e.g., polymers, nutritional supplements, food additives, pharmaceuticals, pesticides) [AI, C]
B1.2 propose a personal course of action to reduce the use of compounds that are harmful to human health and the environment (e.g., weed lawns by hand rather than using herbicides, use cloth bags for shopping to reduce the number of plastic bags in landfill sites, choose fuel-efficient or hybrid vehicles to reduce fossil fuel emissions) [AI, C]
B2.1 use appropriate terminology related to organic chemistry, including, but not limited to: organic compound, functional group, saturated hydrocarbon, unsaturated hydrocarbon, structural isomer, stereoisomer, and polymer [C]
B2.2 use International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) nomenclature conventions to identify names, write chemical formulae, and create structural formulae for the different classes of organic compounds, including hydrocarbons, alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids, esters, ethers, amines, amides, and simple aromatic compounds [AI, C]
B2.3 build molecular models for a variety of simple organic compounds [PR, AI, C]
B3.1 compare the different classes of organic compounds, including hydrocarbons, alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids, esters, ethers, amines, and amides, by describing the similarities and differences in names and structural formulae of the compounds within each class
B3.2 describe the similarities and differences in physical properties (e.g., solubility in different solvents, odour, melting point, boiling point) within each class of organic compounds
