Summary
In this lecture, students will be introduced to molecules and how to properly draw and assign nomenclature. This lecture will focus on the fundamental ways to identify molecules and extrapolate them to organic nomenclature. Since the majority of the content in later lectures will focus on organic molecules and their functional groups, it is important that students have the skills to name and draw organic structures.
