General and Inorganic Chemistry
A.Y. 2018/2019
Learning objectives
The aim of the course is supply the students with the fundamental knowledge of chemical language. The relationship between structure and matter, its macroscopic properties and reactivity will be discussed.
Expected learning outcomes
Understanding of formulas of chemical compounds; knowledge of principal chemical-physical properties; knowledge of acid-basic and redox behavior; performance of simple stechiometric calculation; fundamental operations for the manipulation of inorganic compounds.
