Chemistry
A.Y. 2020/2021
Learning objectives
The student will be able to predict properties and the chemical reactivity of an element based on its position in the Periodic Table. He will know and be able to distinguish substances in acids and bases, to classify chemical reactions such as acid-base or redox reactions. The student will learn how to qualitatively and quantitatively assess the results of an equilibrium reaction; knowing how to solve simple stoichiometric exercises.
The students are also expected to acquire basic concepts of organic chemistry through identification of functional groups and understanding some organic transformations of interest to natural sciences. Emphasis on the importance of organic compounds in health, environment, and society will be highlighted.

The lessons and exercises will be held on the Zoom platform, for the most part they will be in synchronous mode based on the timetable of the first semester and can also be followed asynchronously because they are registered and left available to students on the Ariel platform.
There are also 12 hours of face-to-face exercises (if allowed); all information will be made available on the Ariel website of the course.

Course syllabus
The course aims to provide students with the general basics of chemistry through the study of the nature of the elements and their compounds, the examination of the chemical reactions and the parameters associated with them. Starting from the atomic structure of matter, the course introduces the fundamental laws of stoichiometry also illustrated through exercises. The course will allow the student to acquire the basic notions of inorganic and organic chemistry necessary to understand processes, even complex, more specific than the degree course.
