Unsaturated Hydrocarbons

The Chemistry for Allied Health Professionals credential documents competencies that include the knowledge of basic chemistry required for many allied health professionals. Typically these positions must have a basic understanding of chemicals and chemical processes of inorganic chemistry, organic chemistry, and biochemistry. They do not necessarily need to be able to complete lab tasks using this knowledge, but do need to understand the concepts as a fundamental knowledge base for the medical concepts within their scope of work. Specifically, this badge demonstrates the earner's ability to describe the properties of unsaturated hydrocarbons in terms of the structure and specific types of compounds.
