COURSE CONTENT:
Electronic structure of organic compounds and methods for determining the structure of organic molecules. Constitution, configuration and conformation of hydrocarbons. Properties and reactivity of saturated, unsaturated and aromatic hydrocarbons. Structure and acid-base properties of amines. Structure, properties and reactivity of organic compounds containing oxygen; alcohols, ethers, carbonyl compounds, carboxylic acids and their derivatives. Stereochemistry and chirality. Natural organic compounds and biomacromolecules.
Alkali metals: properties of elementary substances, reactivity trend, alkali cations in solution, processes upon dissolution of alkali oxydws, peroxydes, hydroxydes. Earth-alkali metals: trends in solubility of salts (comparrison of chlorides, sulfates and carbonates). Transition metals: acid-base properties of solutions containing Fe(III) and Al(III) salts, stability of Fe(II) and Cu(I), solubility of hydroxydes, oligo- and polymerisation of hydroxo species with water elimination. Halogen elements: the effect of the atom size and polarisability on the colour of the elementary substances, reactivity of elements and hydrohalogenic acids, the strangth of oxoacids sepending on oxydation state of the central atom, cummulative effect of oxo ligands. Chalcogen elements: electronic structure of elemental oxygen, oxyde, peroxyde and superoxyde ions. Water and hydrogen bond, anomalous properties and structure of liquid water. Carbon and nitrogen groups: the effect of atom radius on properties, compairing the lightest member of the group with the heavier ones, similarities and differences in elemental substances and compounds. Structure of graphite, electron delocalisation causing colour and conductivity.

LEARNING OUTCOMES:
After completion of this course, the successful student will be able to:
- explain the relationship between structure and characteristic properties of organic compounds, particularly those encountered in everyday life
- clearly explain the reactivity of certain functional groups, namely groups of organic compounds
- present basic mechanisms of organic reactions in details
- describe the structure of biomacromolecules and to explain their biological activity
- interconnect the systematics of elements (properties of elements and their compounds) with atomic (radius, ionisation energy, electronegativity) and ionic properties (radius, charge, polarisability)
- interconnect acid-base behaviour of inorganic compounds with equilibria in aqueous solutions.
- recognise basic types of reactions on a molecular level (addition, elimination, substitution) and compare them with their analogues in organic chemistry.
