| Course contents : | The major concepts and principles of chemistry will be discussed and illustrated according to the following framework: 1st semester - Matter, atom, quantification of energy. - Electronic structure of atoms; ionization. - Covalent bonding and molecular orbitals. - Carbon; intermolecular forces; hybridation of orbitals. - Molecular structure. - Isomerism and chemical reactions. - Chemical equilibrium and pH. - Oxydo-reduction equilibrium. - Thermochemistry. - Chemical thermodynamics. - Chemical kinetics. 2nd semester - Electronic features of representative reactions of organic chemistry. - Structure and reactivity of the main organic functions, including alkanes, alkenes, halogenated compounds, aromatic hydrocarbons, alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, amines and carboxylic acids and derivatives. - Biological importance of the organic functions. Remedial courses and exercises - Atomic and molecular structures. - Acid-base reactions (pH). - Oxydo-reduction reactions. - Chemical thermodynamics. - Chemical kinetics. | ||||||||
| |||||||||
| Course objective : | The course is organized to give the student an unified view of a science that has a key role in the life world. The principles of general chemistry are taught in strong relation to organic chemistry. The ultimate purpose of the course is to provide the student with a mastery of chemistry such that he/she can understand how molecules of a biological interest are built up and are working. | ||||||||
| |||||||||
| Prerequisites : | Basic knowledge taught in the secondary school, including chemical elements (symbol and electronic structure), chemical bonding, matter and quantities (concentration, stoichiometry), acid-base and oxydo-reduction equilibria. These prerequisites are "reactivated" by a one-week cycle of courses introductory to the 1st bac classes in chemistry. Remedial modules (and assistants) are available to students who need help. | ||||||||
| |||||||||
| Workshops : | 1st semester
6 half days devoted to quantitative analyses (titrimetry, colorimetry) separation techniques (chromatography), chemical equilibrium and chemical kinetics. 2nd semester 3 half days devoted to the main organic functions, to organic synthesis and to analysis by electrophoresis. | ||||||||
| |||||||||
| Organization : | 1st semester
- Two courses a week: Tuesday 1:30 - 3:00 pm (A500) - Thursday : 1:30 - 3:30 pm (A303). - Revision or written text, once a week. 2nd semester - One course a week: Friday 8:30 - 10:00 am (A303). - Revision (3) and written tests (2) Remedial courses (once a week) | ||||||||
| |||||||||
| Written notes : | 1 Notebook for the courses taught during the 1st semester. 1 Notebook for the practical exercises. 1 CD-Rom for the courses of the 2nd semester. Reference books: 1st semester - Atkins P.W., General Chemistry, Scientific American Books, 1989 - Paul Arnaud, Dunod, Cours de Chimie Physique, 1990 - Ouahes R. et Devalley B., Chimie Générale, Publi Sud, 1988 2nd semester - Hart H. et Conia J.M., Introduction à la chimie organique, Inter Editions, 1987 - Paul Arnaud, Dunod, Cours de Chimie Organique, 1990 | ||||||||
| |||||||||
| Assessment : | Written tests (one each three weeks). January : written exam on the 1st semester courses. Complete exemption whenever the mark is 12/20 and more. May/June : Written exam on the 1st semester courses in case of non-exemption + written exam on the 2nd semester courses + written exam on the practical exercises. | ||||||||
