CEDRAN, Jaime da Costa  e  SANTIN FILHO, Ourides. THE ORGANIC COMPOUNDS STRUCTURE IN HIGHER EDUCATION TEXTSBOOKS: analysis under bachelard´s perspective. Rev. Exitus [online]. 2019, vol.9, n.4, pp.376-405.  Epub 15-Maio-2020. ISSN 2237-9460.  https://doi.org/10.24065/2237-9460.2019v9n4id1019.

This study aimed to investigate the sequence presented by some organic chemistry textbooks when addressing the carbonic structures and their spatial arrangement. The books were selected for being adopted in introductory courses in Organic Chemistry in major Brazilian universities. The results show that all textbooks begin similarly with regard to structure and properties of organic compounds, starting from the electronic characteristics of the carbon atom and the possibilities for its hybridization, and then present the simplest concepts obtained starting from experimental data. Such an approach features a reversal of the historical point of view and also from an epistemological point of view, taking as a reference the sequence of philosophical schools proposed by Bachelard.
