Learning outcomes
The course aims to bring students to a basic and essentially descriptive understanding of the physico-chemical properties of the main classes of organic compounds with particular emphasis on their implications in animal toxicity and environmental pollution. In particular, it will seek to highlight the central role played by few elements (Carbon, Hydrogen, Nitrogen and Oxygen) in the structure-reactivity of the organic compounds which are most relevant from the environmental point of view.
At the end of the course the student will be able to recognize the functional groups present in a certain organic compound, predict the polarity and their main physical-chemical features.

Examination Methods
The evaluation is sustained by a written test performed simultaneously with that of "General and Inorganic Chemistry". An eventual oral examination is required only in the event of a dubious written test. The written test consists in a set of open questions and numeric calculations to solve simple organic chemistry exercises. Typically, the time available for this written examination is 1 hour.
The student must demonstrate a basic understanding of the theoretical notions and must be able to present them with appropriate technical language. He will be able to transfer these notions to the cases of proposed applications, analyzing them in the suitable context
