Chemistry

Lecture classes are expository using a slide projection system for Power Point presentations. In practical (TP) classes, after a brief theoretical introduction, the different chapters exercise sheets are solved. All material is made available through the Moodle platform. Students are encouraged to participate with questions and comments during both lecture and practical classes. At the beginning of the semester, students choose one of the following methods of evaluation: i) evaluation by final examination or ii) continuous evaluation covering two tests during the semester quoted for 16 values and the resolution, in practical classes, of a series of small exercises quoted for 4 values

The main objective of this course is to provide the student with an overview of Chemistry in order to consolidate and deepen previously acquired knowledge. It is intended to also introduce the student in the fields of organic chemistry, with particular emphasis on structure, nomenclature and physical and chemical characteristics of the main families of organic compounds. Thus, the student should be able to i) understand the fundamentals of chemistry, chemical bonds and mass relationships in chemical reactions, physical state of the matter, thermochemistry and chemical equilibrium; ii) identify precipitation, acid-base and redox reactions; iii) identifying the functional groups of organic compounds and their properties; iv) determining the structure of an organic compound from its name and vice versa, and v) identify and classify different organic compounds isomers

1. Basic concepts

Composition and atomic structure. Classification and periodic properties. Chemical bond. Reactions and chemical equations. Stoichiometry.

2. Physical state of the matter: gases, liquids and solids
