This course deals with the fundamental principles of chemistry and shows its importance in our everyday life. It is important not only for ordinary tasks, but also for big factories. In a first stage, it will be given a macroscopic overview on the chemical phenomena. It will be followed by references to electronic structure and chemical connection. Subsequently, concepts related with intermolecular interactions and the way they influence the level organized matter will be presented.
Students will be aware of the importance of bibliography, functional research and how to quote adequately.
All concepts will be exemplified by real examples, as far as the different aspects of environmental impact of chemical processes, production and storage of energy (energies and fuel cells), emerging technologies (photovoltaic and solar), new materials (biomaterials) and nanotechnologies are concerned.
1. Chemistry: The Central Science
2. Basic Concepts
3. Calculation with formulas and Chemical Equations
4. Reactions in Solution
5. Thermochemistry
6. Electronic Structure of Atoms
7. Periodic Properties of Elements
8. Chemical Connection
9. Molecular Geometry and Chemical Connection
10. Gases
11. Intermolecular forces, liquids and solids
12. Properties of solutions
Theoretical and theoretical-practical classes will be based on numerical application and group assignments (2,5 hours a week). There will also be tutorial classes in groups, which will last 1 hour per week.
Themes of the course will be explained, whenever possible, by laboratory assignments, which will take place at the chemistry labs (4 or 5 sessions of 3 hours each).

Students will be admitted to exams if they attend to all of the 4 tests and if they do 8 home works, and all the 4 laboratory assignments. See general information of the course for detailed information about assessment.
Students will be assessed as follows:
70%- CT, monthly test
15%- CE, weekly homework
20%- CL, laboratory assignments
A minimum grade of 10 out of 20 is mandatory for CT and CL.
Students can only complete the course, if they achieve a minimum grade of 10 out of 20.
A final make-over exam is allowed for students that failed to reach the minimum mark.
See general information of the course for detailed information about assessment.
Not applicable (Article 10, Paragraph 2, 3 of General Evaluation Rules of FEUP)
By appropriate examination, based on the written exam at the appropriate season of exams. Working students may request an evaluation scheme based on a practical exam and a final written exam. This situation should be applied for at the Professor in charge until the end of October, even for students who already have the laboratory component. The practical examination will consist of a laboratory evaluation with 3 hours duration in pattern and time to be arranged with the teacher. It will focus randomly on one or more of the experimental works of the academic year and necessarily involves experimental manipulation, preparation and reporting, besides other means of assessment which may be deemed necessary. The written examination for a maximum of 2.5 hours will be held during the examination period January - February, the same date as other students. The matter of the written examination focuses in detail on all matters included in the current program for the course, including written questions on the laboratory component.
Students can only complete the course, if they achieve a minimum grade of 10 out of 20.
It is not possible to remake individual components of distributed evaluation given their cooperative nature in some cases and extent. In the case of the laboratory evaluation the process takes place in group and is cooperative.
A make-over final exam is possible to replace the CT. The mark only affects this component in the proportion as it is assigned.
For a detailed description of the assessment, consult the general information of discipline for the current school year.
