Learning Outcomes of UE

Description of the matter : the quantum model of atom, the electronic structure , the wave model,  the periodic table, the chemical bond , the chemical bonding in the wave model, the geometry of covalent assemblies
Intermolecular interactions
Introduction to thermodynamics and  chemical kinetics
Acid-base equilibria, pH
oxidation-reduction equilibria.
Solubility
Colligative properties

Content of UE

To provide an accurate description of the structure of matter and make use of all the physico-chemical laws (kinetic and thermodynamic) which describe chemical changes.

Prior Experience

To know the basis of chemistry (notion of mole, to balance a chemical reaction, name of inorganic products)

Type of Assessment for UE in Q1

• Written examination

Method of calculating the overall mark for the Q1 UE assessment

Global mark = (0.8* mark of the written examination) + (0.2* global mark of the practical work). The participation to at least 50% of the practical work is mandatory to pass the exam.

Q1 UE Assessment Comments

The exam at the end of Q1 is a written exam based principally on exercises, in order to evaluate the understanding of the course. The mark of this exam represents 80% of the global mark, the remaining 20% corresponding to the mark of the practical works.

Type of Assessment for UE in Q3

• Written examination

Method of calculating the overall mark for the Q3 UE assessment

Global mark = (0.8* mark of the written examination) + (0.2* global mark of the practical work). The participation to at least 50% of the practical work is mandatory to pass the exam.
Caution, the mark of parctical works obtained during Q1 will remain unchanged ; there is no possibility to present again during Q3 the tests concerning the practical works.

Q3 UE Assessment Comments

The exam at the end of Q3 is a written exam based principally on exercises, in order to evaluate the understanding of the course. The mark of this exam represents 80% of the global mark, the remaining 20% corresponding to the mark of the practical works.

Method of calculating the overall mark for the Q1 UE resit assessment

Global mark = (0.8* mark of the written examination) + (0.2* global mark of the practical work). The participation to at least 50% of the practical work is mandatory to pass the exam.
Caution, the mark of parctical works obtained during Q1 will remain unchanged ; there is no possibility to present again the tests concerning the practical works.

Type of Resit Assessment for UE in Q1 (BAB1)

• Written examination

Q1 UE Resit Assessment Comments (BAB1)

The exam is a written exam based principally on exercises, in order to evaluate the understanding of the course. The mark of this exam represents 80% of the global mark, the remaining 20% corresponding to the mark of the practical works.
