The Organic Chemistry 1 module covers the study of the major classes of organic compounds (organometallic compounds, alcohols, amines, and carbonyl derivatives) and their reactivity. Carboxylic acids and their derivatives are also discussed in the chapters devoted to the reactivity of organometallic compounds, alcohols, and carbonyl derivatives.
Special emphasis is placed on understanding reaction mechanisms based on the fundamental concepts learned in the first year.

Use the basic principles of thermodynamics of equilibrium to predict whether a reaction is possible, in which direction it proceeds spontaneously, and to determine the proportions of the reactants at equilibrium based on the equilibrium constant. Application to homogeneous and heterogeneous equilibria and to specific cases of precipitation reactions. (Acid-base and redox reactions, if time permits). Number of hours: 19.5.
In the second part, we will discuss kinetic aspects and, consequently, reaction rates. Only first-order reactions will be studied this year. Total hours: 7.5.

The first part of the module will consist of a general introduction to materials: a review of the states of matter, chemical bonds, and the physical quantities associated with material properties (resistivity, transmittance, viscosity, Young’s modulus, etc.). The concepts covered will be illustrated using polymeric and inorganic materials.
In the next phase, in a flipped classroom setting, students will explore various materials through practical applications (varnish, paint, energy recovery, pollution control, etc.)
