      Contents

      The course is divided in two parts. The first part deals with gereral aspects of organic chemistry reviewing the electronic structure of the major elements in organic chemistry. The geometry of organic molécules, 3D-structres and bonds are described. On this basis, the various phenomona of isomerism ans stereoisomerism are detailled. Electronic effects (inductive and mesomeric effects) in organic molecules are presented to better understand the observed reactivity. This part ends on the concepts of functions and structures of common functional groups and their nomenclature. The second part is dedicated to the study of the properties and reactivity of different classes of organic compounds (alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, aromatics, alcohols, acids, amines). A number of reactions such as substitution on the aliphatic carbon, radical and electrophilic addition to alkenes, the elimination from halo-alkanes and alcohols, the substitution of aromatic compounds and oxidation-reduction reactions. The involvement of different classes of organic compounds of daily life and living environment is exposed; special attention is given to polymers, their synthesis and their properties. Exercises and practical work (laboratory) focus on understanding the structures and bonds, molecule geometry, isomery and stereoisomery, identification of different organic families and functions, nomenclature, reaction properties of various chemical families and practical synthesis some common organic compounds.

      Term 2 Assessment - comments

      One on-line tests (e-tests) are organized around the 18-19th week, (2.5 % of the mark for each). It consists in answering questions about the chemical structures, hybridizations, and isomery and stereoidimery, functions, nomenclature and centesimal analysis. A written test concerning the chemical structures, hybridizations, isomery and stereoisomery, chemical functions, nomenclature and basic organic reactions is organized (15 % of the mark; maximal duration: 90 min) around the 21-22th week. The practice reports are corrected and behavioral rating is also assigned to each student, 17.5% of the mark. The written exam including the theory aspects, knowledge application, questions concerning laboratory and exercises (chemical synthesis), 65% of the mark, duration : 210 min

      Term 3 Assessment - type

      • Written examination

      Term 3 Assessment - comments

      The mark related of the laboratory work and of the e-test is carried over. (20 % of the mark ) The second session includes only a written test (theory, laboratory, synthesis exercises) : 80 % of the mark, maximal duration : 210 min.
