Syllabus
  • Information concerning medical chemistry. The basic chemical terms: substances, particles, amount of substance, some properties of a single particle and molar quantities. Electron configurations in atoms. Types of bonds, electronegativity. Non-covalent bonds and attraction forces.
  • Chemical reactions, kinetics, chemical equilibrium. The driving force of chemical reactions, free Gibbs energy.
  • Solutions of substances. Dissociation of electrolytes, the equilibria in electrolyte solutions.
  • Protolytic reactions: acids and bases, pH values, hydrolysis of salts, buffers.
  • Oxidation-reduction reactions, redox potentials, the e.m. force of a voltaic cell and the relation to the reaction free energy change.
  • Essential macroelements important for living matter, general properties of them and of some of their compounds.
  • Carbon compounds: their constitution, configuration, isomerism, and conformation. Types of organic compounds, the principals of nomenclature. Hydrocarbons, major types, structures, reactivity.
  • Derivatives of hydrocarbons: alcohols, thioalcohols, phenols, carbonyl compounds, and carboxylic acids.
  • Substituted carboxylic acids and derivatives of the acids (esters, amides, anhydrides, halides).
  • Amines and the other derivatives of hydrocarbons.
  • Heterocyclic compounds and biochemically important derivatives. Alkaloids.
