| Course contents : | The course starts with a quick review of chemistry foundations, as well as a general a general description of the chemical reaction. Liquids, solids, and phase changes are studied, with emphasis to gas properties and behaviour. Solutions and their properties are described in details. The chapter on chemical kinetics allows to correlate specie concentrations and time and insists on the collision theory. The chemical equilibrium is then described and allows the study of aqueous acid and base equilibria and electrochemistry. The first quarter ends with the description of foundations of chemical thermodynamics.
The second quarter starts with the study of atomic structure. This allows the description of chemical bonding through the theories of atomic, hybrid, and molecular orbitals. Molecular structures are further described in those chapters. The last part of the course is dedicated to organic chemistry and starts with a chapter on stereochemistry. The approach of organic chemistry is based on the four major types of reactions, e.g. addition, elimination, substitution, and rearrangement reactions. Emphasis is set on the reactivity of important functional groups instead of the systematic study of synthesis processes. This part ends with a brief discussion on carbohydrates and other molecules of biological interest.
The chapters of the course are abundantly illustrated by practical applications as well as numbers of key concept problems. |
|
| Course objective : | Build up minimum chemical foundations for the student to take up its veterinary formation in good conditions. The study of chemistry basics is carried out to arouse the critical and scientific mind of the future medical doctor or dentist. This course will also give the student a chance to get acquainted with high flow of information. |
|
| Prerequisites : | The various parts of the course will be approached exhaustively to allow all students with graduate school knowledge to understand. Students with a scientific background will probably be favoured at the beginning. A good knowledge of mathematic basics is mandatory. |
|
| Workshops : | Students are grouped for experimental laboratories (TPs). Experiments illustrate and complete principles studies during the theoretical course. A written laboratory report is not mandatory at the end of each practical session, although it is recommended to submit one to the assistant for review. Attendance at laboratories is obligatory. All absence must be justified by medical records. Exams will only be permitted for students with at least 2/3 of participation to the labs. For safety reasons, access to the laboratory will only be granted to students wearing an appropriate lab coat and registered at the university. Safety glasses have to be worn during all experiments. There is no laboratory exam. Questions in the regular general exam will include laboratory type questions. |
|
| Organization : | A detailed time table including courses, practical sessions, and laboratories will be provided at the start of the year. The theoretical course is provided twice a week (1.5h-2h per course) in the first quarter and second quarter. Practical exercise sessions are provided once or twice a week (2h per session) by series of students. Laboratories are 4h. |
|
| Written notes : | A copy of the slides of the theoretical course is provided prior the course either through the intranet web site MyULg or directly to student representative. The course is made of around 1500 slides that are grouped 4 per page in .pdf format. Students have the opportunity to complete the slides while attending the course. The reference book is D. McQUARRIE et P. ROCK, Chimie générale, 2nd édition, DeBoeck, 2003 ISBN 2-8041-3703-1. A group purchase will be proposed. This book does not include organic chemistry. A manual of laboratory, a formula list, as well as a set of molecular models will be available at the start of the year. |
|
| Assessment : | The student must have his student card and ID ready to display upon request during exams.
