| Learning Outcomes |
Competences |
| Upon successful completion of the course, students are able to apply fundamental concepts of organic chemistry, analyze chemical structures and reactions, and assess the reactivity and stability of organic molecules. They can explain with key bonding concepts, stereochemistry, reaction mechanisms, and the thermodynamic and kinetic principles of organic reactions.

| Skills |
Knowledge |
Upon completing the course, students will possess the following skills. They are able to
- confidently apply and communicate the terminology and concepts of organic chemistry (k2/k3);
- analyze and evaluate molecular structures and their electronic properties (k2/k3);
- categorize the reactivity and stability of organic compounds based on chemical principles (k2/k3/k5);
- formulate and explain the mechanisms of chemical reactions using theoretical models (k2/k3);
- investigate structure-function relationships of organic molecules and apply them to new systems (k3/k4);
- quantitatively and conceptually describe and analyze chemical equilibria, acid-base reactions and redox processes (k2/k5);
- apply chemical thinking and working methods to interdisciplinary questions (k4/k5);
- develop scientific arguments and clearly and precisely present chemical relationships (k3/k5).

During the course, students will acquire knowledge in the following areas and concepts of organic chemistry:
- molecules, bonding situations, polar and non-polar molecules, intermolecular interactions, Lewis structures, hybridization, resonance structures;
- introduction to orbitals, molecular orbital theory of bonding;
- hybridization in alkanes, alkenes, alkynes and alcohols;
- three-dimensional structure of organic molecules, structural isomerism and stereochemistry (chirality, enantiomers, diastereomers);
- systematic nomenclature of organic molecules;
- mechanisms influencing the stability and reactivity of organic molecules;
- major classes of organic reactions;
- thermodynamics and kinetics of organic reactions.
