Prerequisite

Basics of general chemistry.

Elements of geometry ( plane angles,dihedral angles, equilateral triangle, pyramids,tetraedre).

Elements and simple symetry operations ( plane, axes and centre of symetry, reflexion symetry in a plane).

Aims and Objectives

Correctly represent and name an organic molecule.

Explain, according to the electronic structure other molecule, its chemical and physical properties.

Recognize the main simple functions and explain their reactivity.

Integrate the theoretical knowledge in other classes ( laboratories, biochemistry, “alimentary” chemistry).
