Learning objectives

The course aims to provide the basic knowledge for the understanding of chemical phenomena and of the properties of biological interest molecules.

Prerequisites and basic notions

Nothing.

Program

FIRST CONCEPTUAL BLOCK: STRUCTURE AND PROPERTIES OF MATTER: Chemical substances and formulas. The atom. mole. Electronic structure and periodic properties of atoms: orbitals; electronic configurations of the elements; the periodic table. The chemical bond: Lewis theory of the covalent bond; notes on the theories of valence bond and molecular orbitals; hybridization and resonance; the ionic bond, the metallic bond. The weak bonds.
SECOND CONCEPTUAL BLOCK: CHEMICALS, THEIR TRANSFORMATIONS AND REACTIVITY: Thermodynamics and thermochemistry. Solutions. Chemical equilibrium. Equilibrium in solution. Electrochemistry (galvanic and electrolytic cells, use of electrochemical series).
THIRD CONCEPTUAL BLOCK: CHEMICAL REACTIVITY: Chemical reactions. Types of reactions. Stoichiometry. FOURTH CONCEPTUAL BLOCK: CHEMICAL KINETICS AND ORGANIC CHEMISTRY: Kinetic equations, concepts of activation energy, molecularity, steric factor. Integrated laws of reaction rate. Relationship between kinetic constant and equilibrium constant. Introduction to catalysis. Catalysts, homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis. Langmuir isotherm, active sites. Introduction to organic chemistry: aliphatic hydrocarbons, Alkanes, Alkenes and alkynes, structure and nomenclature. Properties and reactivity of hydrocarbons. Substitution, addition and elimination reactions. cyclic hydrocarbons. Aromatic hydrocarbons, benzene and its derivatives. Electrophilic substitution reactions of benzene. Polar organic compounds. Concept of polarity and its influence on properties. Halogen alkanes, alcohols. Alcohols as fuels. Ethers, amines. Structure, properties and reactivity. Carbonyl compounds. Aldehydes and ketones.

Didactic methods

Lessons delivered remotely and in streaming, with the support of slides, and, as far as possible, with the involvement of students. Possibility of carrying out exercises and letting students complete the solving of exercises as a learning test and self-assessment.

Learning assessment procedures

At the end of the teaching, a written test, lasting an hour and a half, is envisaged as an exam, consisting of questions on theory and exercises relating to the entire program. During the writing the use of the calculator and the consultation of the periodic table and the table of potentials are allowed (if necessary and in any case provided by the teacher).

Students with disabilities or specific learning disorders (SLD), who intend to request the adaptation of the exam, must follow the instructions given HERE

Evaluation criteria

The assessment will be based on the verification of the concepts received by the written test described in "Modalità d'esame"

Criteria for the composition of the final grade

Acceptance of the written grade and, in the event of an interview, the average of the two parts.

Exam language

Italiano
