| Course contents : | The course is divided into two parts. The first one is teached by J.Marien and is mainly devoted to both the atomic structure of the matter and the physicochemical equilibria . The second one is teached by E.DePauw and concerns with both the molecular structure of the matter and carbon chemistry . After a short recall of elementary knowledges in chemistry , the nuclear and electronic structure of atoms is studied thoroughly using basic quantum mechanics . Thereafter , chemical reactions ( Acid-Base , Oxidation-Reduction , Precipitation , Electrochemical ,... ) and physicochemical equilibria ( homogeneous and heterogeneous ) are examined in details . Nevertheless , the thermodynamical explanation is let to a dedicated course of thermodynamics which will be given during the second year of the Bachelor cursus .
In the second part of the course , chemical bonding in molecules and solids is teached ; emphasis is placed on the intermolecular forces which make the cohesion of matter . The electronic structure , vibration-rotation levels and geometry of molecules are detailed .
The course ends with an introduction to organic chemistry with emphasis on the carbon-carbon bond ,structures and reactivity of organic compounds and the spectroscopic methods developed to determine them . |
|
| Prerequisites : | Elementary knowledges in chemistry which are teached in most of middle schools ( to be able to write and balance a chemical equation ; to know and write the formula of the most important elements and inorganic chemical compounds , to be aware of the main classes of substances in inorganic chemistry and to have a rough knowledge of the Periodic Table ) . |
|
| Workshops : | There is no laboratory session but 30 hours are devoted to train the students in solving chemistry problems . Besides , " free sessions " are organized to help the students in mastering the course . |
|
| Organization : | The course is divided into two parts : the first which is teached by J.Marien includes 40 hours of theory and 20 hours of exercices ( chemistry problems ). The second is teached by E.DePauw includes 20 hours of theory and 10 hours of exercices ( chemistry problems ). Course and exercices take place every Thursday morning during the whole year . A few Tuesday afternoons are also provided. Free sessions ( one afternoon a week ) to help students will be organized . |
|
| Written notes : | The main support consists of two syllabi :
a) one is relative to the first part of the course teached by J.Marien ( Chimie Générale et Chimie Physique : 8ème édition :Editions de l'U.Lg. )
b) The other is relative to the second part of the course teached by E.DePauw . It is available at the A.E.E.S.
A manual with typical chemistry problems is also available ( Editions de l'U.Lg. ) .
Besides a copy of the overhead transparencies ,a series of exercices ( with solutions ) can be found in a C.D.ROM which can be downloaded on the W.W.W. site of the A.E.E.S . |
|
| Assessment : | In June , students are submitted to a written examination including two parts ; one relative to problems and the other relates to the theory of the whole course . |
