General and Inorganic Chemistry
A.Y. 2018/2019
Learning objectives
The primary goal of the course is to provide a solid foundation in the basics concepts and facts of chemistry, particularly those needed for a successful understanding of other subjects for which chemistry is a prerequisite. The general chemistry course must also give the student an appreciation of the importance of chemistry to society in general and to daily life in particular.
