The moduleaims to provide students with:
- Acquisition of a form scientific mindset with high logic capacity;
- Acquisition of basic knowledge of general chemistry;
- Understanding of the atomic-molecular constitution of matter;
- Understanding of the role of chemical bonds and molecular structure of materials.

teacher profile teaching materials
Isomerism and stereoisomeries. Resonance and electronic effects.
The functional groups: structure, nomenclature and chemical-physical properties of alkanes, cycloalkanes, alkenes, alkynes, arenes, halides, alcohols, amines, imines, phenols, aldehydes and ketones, acids, esters, amides, imides and nitriles.
Main hydrocarbon reactions: combustion and reduction, electrophilic addition to alkenes, dienes and alkynes; notes on electrophilic aromatic substitution.
Organic reactions of alcohols and halogen alkanes: sp3 carbon substitution and elimination; oxidations and reductions.
Nucleophilic addition to the carbonyl and nucleophilic acyl substitution. Enolated and their condensations.
Bi-and polyfunctional molecules: dicarboxylic acids, hydroxy acids, enonic systems, triglycerides, carbohydrates and amino acids. Homo- and hetero-aromatic compounds.

Core Documentation
F.A. Bettelheim, W.H. Brown, M.K. Campbell, S.O. Farrel, O.J. Torres Introduction to General, Organic, and Biochemistry.Type of delivery of the course
The course is based on face-to-face lessons using pwp presentations, slides and some videos. Laboratory experience are planned both in Module I of general chemistry and in Module II of organic chemistryType of evaluation
The evaluation takes place with separate written and oral tests for each part of the course (Modulo I and II), leading to a final evaluation given by the average of the marks obtained in each exam. During the course intermediate tests (Esoneri) will be made to replace the part of the written exam.
