Key words Chemistry Objectives The second year chemistry coarse deals with the organic or carbon chemistry. Actual, living matter, some materials, drugs and a lot of other products are built up by a carbon chain. The basic knowledge of organic chemistry is imparted. The students must have an understanding of the structure and the nomenclature of the different classes of compounds, of the (organic) chemical principles and patterns, of the basic conversion reactions between the classes. All of these are applied in theoretical and practical exercises. In the second part the students must become aware of the significance of the organic chemistry in every day's life. This is supported by discussions about current organic compounds in different professional fields. The complexity of (organic) chemical matter is pointed out, from where the specific compound can be isolated and identified only by enforced analytical techniques. Prerequisites The students must have a sufficient knowledge of the general and inorganic chemistry. Nevertheless, the specific issues concerning organic chemistry and molecules are imparted from the beginning. Topics Part 1: theoretical session Hydrocarbons, functional groups and nomenclature; polarity, acid-base behaviour, field and resonance effects; fundamentals and classes of organic reactions, simple conversions; discussion of current organic compounds; a survey of qualitative and quantitative (organic) analysis. Part 2: practical session Basic techniques of crystallization, distillation and extraction; Fundamentals of chemical and physical identification; Fundamentals of chemical conversions and synthesis. Teaching Methods Contacting hours: lectures and theoretical examples (theoretical session); demonstrations and practical exercises (practical session); Home study: It's expected that the students perform, on an individual basis, the additional theoretical exercises, found after each chapter. Nevertheless, supplementary explanation can be obtained by appointment. Materials used Teacher's courses. Additional notes and background information given during the lectures, also belong to the examination subject. Textbooks for optional background information: * "Introduction to Organic Chemistry", Streitwieser; Publ. Mc Millen, 1992. * "Organic Chemistry", Volhardt; Publ. Frieman, 1997. * "Organic Chemistry", Solomons; Publ. Wiley & Sons. * "A Text-Book of Practical Organic Chemistry", A. Vogel; Publ. Longman. Study guidance Assessment Part 1: theoretical session: written examination (open questions on the theory and the exercices partially taken from the course and from the additional notes) (67÷); Part 2: practical session: permanent evaluation and practical tests (33÷).
