Basic knowlege of Chemical Bonding and Physical Chemistry
Subject matter
Organic structures: molecules represenation, functional groups, systematic nomenclature atomic and molecular orbitals, hibridization. Delocalization and conjugated systems: Resonance, conjugated dienes, carbonlys, a,b-insaturation, alilic systems and aromaticity. Organic reactions squematization. Reactional profiles: Thermodynamics and kinetics. Acidity and basicity. Nucleofilicity and electrofilicity.Carbonyl group chemistry: nucleofile substitution at the carbonyl carbon, conjugated addition vs. direct adition to carbonyl carbon. Stereochemistry: chirality, CIP rules, diastereomers and enantiomers. Conformational analysys: conformation of linear and cyclic compounds.

Teaching method
The course of Organic Chemistry I use the methodology Based Learning Teams (Team-Based Learning, TBL, http://www.teambasedlearning.org).
Evaluation method
According to the FCTUNL Assessment Regulations, the Course of Organic Chemistry I have the following evaluation components:
1. Theoretical and practical evaluation: 2 tests during the semester. Minimum grade for final approval: 9.5 average of the tests. There is no minimum score for any of the two tests individually.
2. laboratory or project Rating: Notes obtained for carrying out the laboratory work in a team, for carrying out the tests to ensure the preparation (TGPe) and the fulfillment of team activities in the classroom. These notes are modulated by peer review to be held in each team.
3. Summative assessment: Notes obtained for conducting the tests to ensure the individual preparation (TGPi).
The TP component has a weight of 50%, the laboratory component / design has a 37.5% weight and summative component has a weight of 12.5%.
