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.

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.
