Learning objectives
The aim of the course is to provide the student with a firm basis in general and inorganic chemistry in order to carry on his study in other areas of science.
The students should acquire a good knowledge of: the stoichiometric calculations in chemistry, the relation between the atomic structure and the atomic properties, the equilibrium in chemical reactions and the properties of ideal solutions.
Expected learning outcomes
The course is a prerequisite for subsequent courses in chemistry and biology. Its purpose is to provide the tools needed to understand chemical language and the foundation of chemistry (atom, chemical bonding, chemical reactions, chemical equilibrium, thermodynamics), the learning of which is essential to proceed in the biological study.
