Number of credits :
Bachelor in physics7
Lecturer :
Bénédicte Vertruyen
Language(s) of instruction :
French language
Organisation and examination :
Teaching in the second semester
Units courses prerequisite and corequisite :
Prerequisite or corequisite units are presented within each program
Learning unit contents :
This second part of the general chemistry course is devoted to three main topics: - chemical thermodynamics - atoms and bonding - introduction to organic chemistry The table of contents is available on request (email to b.vertruyen.at.ulg.ac.be).
Learning outcomes of the learning unit :
In addition to the usual "knowledge-based" objectives, the course aims at developping more general skills, such as : analysis of graphics, problem solving, assessment of the validity of a theory,...
Prerequisite knowledge and skills :
- General chemistry course (1st year Bachelor)
- Modern physics / partim Quantum physics (1st quadrimester of 2nd year Bachelor)
Planned learning activities and teaching methods :
Lectures, exercice sessions and practical sessions. Attendance to the practical sessions is compulsory. Students are required to wear lab coats and safety glasses.
Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning) :
Face-to-face
Recommended or required readings :
- Lecture notes : a pdf copy of the slides is available. Please note that in order to promote attendance to lectures, some derivations, complements, or examples are not included in the slides.   - Lab and exercise notes are available and can usually be bought on an agreed date, just before a lecture.
- Lists of equations are provided (one for the exercice sessions/tests, the other for the theory exam).
Assessment methods and criteria :
- practical work : 10 % - exercise test/exam : 20 % (students having obtained a mark of minimum 10/20 for the test organized during the 2nd quadrimester are exempted from the exercise exam) - theory : 70 %
Work placement(s) :
Organizational remarks :
Lectures, exercise sessions and practicals sessions will take place during the 2nd quadrimester (February - May). A written test on thermodynamics exercises will be organised during the 2nd quadrimester.
