Objectives

Aims:

- Students shoud aquire knowledge about the various families of organic molecules in what concerns their nomenclature, reactivity, reaction mechanisms and methods of synthesis.

 

Learning outcomes and competences

Students should
- understand the relationship between structure and reactivity of organic molecules and be able to predict reactions of the different families of compounds;

- be aware of the presence of organic chemistry in their dayly life (medicine, novel products/materials, etc.).

Working method

Presencial

Pre-requirements (prior knowledge) and co-requirements (common knowledge)

Students should have been approved in UC Química I/Fundamentos de Quimica.

Teaching methods and learning activities

Theoretical lessons will be presented in Power-point. Slides will be provided to the students in advance.

TP lessons: resolution of problems featuring the topics of the theoretical lessons.

Students shoud resolve some problems and will be evaluated for the work performed.
