Teaching Methodologies
Lecture (T) classes will be targeted at understanding the theoretical foundations of the course, being complemented with practical (TP) classes for resolution of questions. In lecture classes the theoretical concepts exposition will be performed by PowerPoint slides projection.
In the practical classes the different chapters exercise sheets are solved and, whenever possible, after a general discussion about the problems, students are encouraged to continue with its resolutions and at the end, a discussion of the results is made. Students are encouraged to participate with questions and comments during both lecture and practical classes.
Learning Results
To deepen the fundamentals of Chemistry in order to understand and justify phenomena underlying to the transformation and characterization of matter and structures that form it. Skills: Understand the electronic structure of atoms; Analyse the chemical bonds between atoms and intermolecular forces; Understand the states of matter, solids, liquids and gases; Analyse and identify chemical reactions in homogeneous and heterogeneous systems; Interpret and communicate mechanisms in electrochemical processes; Understand and name the organic compounds and perceive the difference between compounds due to the presence of different functional groups in organic molecules.
