Prerequisites
Knowledge of secondary school chemistry
Course Enrolment Limitations
The course is offered to students of any study field.
Course objectives
The course provides an introduction to general and inorganic chemistry, including atomic and bond theories, the energetics of chemical reactions, acid-base, and oxidation-reduction reactions, and an overview of the structure and properties of selected elements and their compounds.
Learning outcomes
By the end of this course, students should be able to: explain basic chemical principles; know chemical nomenclature, interpret the electronic structure of atoms and chemical bonding theories; describe chemical reactions along with energy changes; discuss the states of matter and phase transitions. They should also be able to describe the elements and their common compounds. Students will be able to calculate basic chemical calculations related to concentration, pH, mass, charge, pressure, moles, etc.
