Contents
The course begins with the description of the atom and its components. The Bohr atomic model is used to explain the atomic electromagnetic waves absorption and emission spectra. The atomic orbitals and the electronic structure of the elements are further described on the basis of the Schrodinger equation and the quantum numbers. The physical and chemical properties of the elements and their evolution throughout the Mendeleev periodic table are described and the main reasons which lead to them are spelt out. In the second chapter, a great importance is attached to the description of the electrostatic interactions and to the chemical (polar and covalent) bond formation with particular emphasis on the hybridization phenomenon that possibly accompanies the formation of a simple covalent or a co-ordination bond. This concept of chemical bond is essential to enable an approach to the states of the matter (gaseous, liquid and solid) and to the description of the different types of solids reported in the following chapters. The directed exercise sessions and the laboratory work focus on some more concrete notions such as the quantification of matter (masses, volumes, stoichiometry), the proportions of components (molarity, fractions) in a thermodynamic system (gaseous, liquid and solid) and the processing of these components (preparation of solutions, extraction, reactions, ).

« CHIMIE PHYSIQUE » Peter W. ATKINS Editions De Boeck Université Very comprehensive book, very rigorous (fall outside the scope of the ordinary course). Copy in French available at the library. « CHIMIE GÉNÉRALE » John W. HILL & Ralph H. Petrucci Pearson Education Book of a more accessible level (but also less complete).Very good illustrations (not available in the library).

- Remediation test
Term 1 Assessment - comments
A test (exercises + theory) is organised during the 7th week dedicated to remediation (5 % of the mark). The written reports of the laboratory work are evaluated and a behavioural score is also attributed to each student (20 % of the mark). A quoted exercise test is organized after the practical works during the 12th or 13th week (20 % of the mark; maximal duration: 90 min). The oral exam in January verifies the theoretical knowledge. After receiving the question, the student write his answer on transparent slides that he will then present. The accent is put on the understanding of phenomena and concepts rather than on the memorization (55 % of the mark, maximal duration: 60 min).

The second session (Q3), as well as the re-take examination in June (Q1(B1BA)) includes only a written test (quoted exercices; 20 % of the mark) and an oral examination (same procedure as in January, 55 % of the mark).. The marks related to the remediation test (5 % of the mark) and to laboratory work (20 % of the mark) are carried over. The mark related to the e-tests is no longer taken into account.
