Formulación y nomenclatura de compuestos químicos from edX

Toda la materia está formada por elementos o compuestos químicos que son resultado de la combinación de átomos. Cada compuesto presenta una determinada composición que se corresponde con una fórmula y se identifica con un nombre. La formulación y la nomenclatura sirven para clasificar y nombrar las diferentes clases de sustancias. Este curso va dirigido a los alumnos que acceden a la Universidad, especialmente, aquellos que no han cursado Química y que requieren de los conocimientos básicos en estos aspectos.

En este curso aprenderás las normas que se utilizan para establecer las fórmulas de las sustancias y especies químicas, así como las reglas necesarias para nombrarlas. De este modo, podrás identificar y nombrar correctamente los compuestos químicos inorgánicos y orgánicos más comunes.

Las unidades del curso son:

Introducción y nomenclatura de sustancias inorgánicas
Sustancias binarias
Sustancias terciarias
Sustancias cuaternarias
Introducción a la formulación y nomenclatura de compuestos orgánicos
Hidrocarburos
Funciones halogenadas
Funciones oxigenadas
Funciones nitrogenadas
Compuestos con dos o más grupos funcionales
