Course/Module description:
This is a refreshing course in general and organic chemistry for students enrolled in the retraining program at the School of Pharmacy.
Course/Module aims:
To refresh the knowledge of students from scientific backgrounds, enrolled in the retraining program, the basic material in general and organic chemistry (that was learned in the past) for faciliting their integration into the courses in the school pharmacy.
Learning outcomes - On successful completion of this module, students should be able to:
After completing the course, the students will understand the basics of general chemistry (see the list of course content). They can identify compounds properties and bonds and understand and formulate chemical reactions. In addition, the students can classify and name a variety of compounds.
Attendance requirements(%):
The course is on the web
Teaching arrangement and method of instruction:
The course is composed from recorded lectures of Dr. Ta-Shma. In addition, there are weekly live tutorials.
Course/Module Content:
General Chemistry:
1 Introducing basic concepts: elements, compounds, mixtures, atoms, molecules, the periodic table, molecular formula, states of matter, balancing chemical reactions, exothermic and endothermic reactions.
2. The structure of the atom: protons, electrons neutrons, ions, isotopes
3. Measuring, calculating and stechiometry: orders of magnitude, units, conversion factors, density, mole and molar mass
4. The periodic table and periodic properties: electronic configuration and the structure of the periodic table, valance electrons
5. The chemical bond: ionic bond, covalent bond, Lewis structures, electronegativity and bond polarity, shape and polarity of molecules, intermolecular forces and properties of solids, the anomaly of water
6. Solutions: solubility of electrolytes and nonelectrolytes, saturated solution, molar concentration, osmosis and osmolarity
Organic Chemistry:
1. Introduction to organic chemistry: alkanes and cycloalkanes, functional groups, haloalkanes
2. Unsaturated hydrocarbones: alkenes, alkynes and aromatic compounds
3. Organic compouds containing Oxygen: alcohols, phenols, thiols, ethers, aldehydes and ketones
