Learning outcomes: Knowledge: Student defines the basic concepts of organic chemistry - explains the processes such as distillation, sublimation, crystallization, extraction and chromatography - explains the formation of organic compounds containing common functional groups and their reactions - understands the concept of aromaticity and mesomerism - recognizes and provides for the existence of conformational, structural and stereoisomerism – calls the common organic compounds - describes the basic mechanisms of addition, substitution and elimination. Skills: Student practices the principles of work in the synthetic organic chemistry laboratory – can assembly glass apparatuses and use them - knows how to prepare a workplace, carry out and control the synthesis of simple organic compounds - calculates the reaction efficiency - knows how to use the reaction mechanisms in order to identify factors that may have influence on the reaction course - selects appropriate basic techniques of compound purification - interprets simple 1H NMR, IR and UV spectra - shows understanding of selected processes occurring in the nature - perceives the relationship between the accuracy of the preparation and conducting of the experiment and the correctness of the results.
Competences: Social skills (Attitude): Student shows appropriate respect and care for the entrusted equipment- has responsibility for the security of their own and others - works effectively independently and in a team according to the given instructions - shows awareness of the risks of working with hazardous substances.
