Organic Chemistry Part 1
ECTS
4 credits
Component
Faculty of Science
The organic chemistry module 1 concerns the study of the main classes of organic compounds (organometallic compounds, alcohols, amines, carbonyl derivatives) and their reactivity. Carboxylic acids and derivatives are also covered in the chapters dedicated to the reactivity of organometallics, alcohols and carbonyl derivatives.
A particular effort is given to the understanding of reaction mechanisms based on the basic notions acquired in the first year.
From the molecule to the cell
ECTS

Faculty of Science
The aim of the "From molecules to cells" course is to provide L1 students with the basic notions of biology that will be necessary to follow the biochemistry, cell biology, molecular biology, virology and microbiology courses of the following semesters. The structure of biomolecules (nucleic acids, proteins, lipids and sugars) and the structural organization of the cell will be detailed with a view to understanding the origin of life and the organization of viruses, prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.
Thermodynamics and kinetics
Component
Faculty of Science
Use of the basic principles of equilibrium thermodynamics to be able to predict whether a reaction is possible, in which direction it is spontaneous and determine from the equilibrium constant the proportions of reactants at equilibrium. Application to homogeneous and heterogeneous equilibria and to the particular cases of precipitation reactions.(acid-base and redox reactions if time permits). Hourly volume: 19,5 h.
In a second part, the kinetic aspects and therefore the speed of reaction will be discussed. Only simple reaction orders will be studied during this year. Hourly volume: 7,5 h .
From entity to solid
ECTS

Faculty of Science
The first part of the module will consist in presenting generalities on materials: reminder on the states of matter - chemical bonds - quantities associated with the properties of materials (resistivity, transmittance, viscosity, Young's modulus, ...). The notions discussed will be illustrated through polymeric and inorganic materials.
In a second phase, in a reversed classroom, students will discover the different materials through applications (varnish, paint, energy recovery, pollution control...)

The organic chemistry module 2 is a continuation of the organic chemistry module 1. It concerns the deepening of the reactivity of carboxylic acids and derivatives.
