Pharmaceutical Organic Chemistry 1 Introduction

A branch of chemistry that focuses on the structure, properties, and reactions of organic compounds, which primarily contain carbon atoms.

A person who gives lectures on a specific subject.

The study of the preparation, properties, and uses of drugs and pharmaceuticals.

The study of organic compounds and reactions used in the pharmaceutical industry.

A group of people working together to present information or complete a task.

A respected educator with significant experience and expertise.

A person who introduces or presents something.

The number of protons present in the nucleus of an atom.

A subatomic particle with a negative charge, very light in mass and resides in the electron cloud surrounding the nucleus.

A subatomic particle with a positive charge, nearly identical in mass to a neutron and resides in the nucleus.

A subatomic particle with no charge, nearly identical in mass to a proton and resides in the nucleus.

Each shell represents an electron energy level, with higher numbers indicating higher energy.

The number of electrons a shell can hold is determined by the formula 2n^2, where 'n' is the shell number.

Electrons within a shell can further be grouped into sub-shells, each with a slightly different energy level.

The number of sub-shells in a shell is equal to the shell number (n).

Each sub-shell holds a specific number of orbitals, which are regions of space where electrons are most likely to be found.

The goals of studying pharmaceutical organic chemistry include understanding the structure, properties, and reactions of organic molecules, as well as their applications in the pharmaceutical industry.

To learn how to design, synthesize, and analyze pharmaceutical compounds.

A SWOT analysis is a strategic planning tool used to assess the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats of an organization or project.

Strengths are the internal positive attributes of a project or organization that contribute to its success.

Weaknesses are the internal negative attributes of a project or organization that hinder its success.

Opportunities are external factors that can be capitalized on to enhance the success of a project or organization.

Threats are external factors that could negatively impact the success of a project or organization.

The energy level of an electron in an atom, with higher numbers indicating higher energy levels. Higher energy level means the electrons are further away from the nucleus and are not as tightly bound.

The number of electron shells an atom has. It represents how many energy levels an atom can occupy. Higher numbers indicate more complex atoms with more electrons and energy levels.

The maximum number of electrons that can occupy a specific electron shell is calculated using the formula 2n^2, where 'n' is the principal quantum number representing the shell's energy level.

The 1st electron shell (n = 1) has the lowest energy level, and the energy levels increase as the principal quantum number (n) increases. This means that electrons in higher shells are less tightly bound to the nucleus.

The maximum number of electrons that can occupy the 3rd electron shell (n = 3) is calculated as 2n^2, which is 2(3)^2 = 2 x 9 = 18 electrons.
