The main goal of the present Chemistry course is make the student able to understant the correlation between chemical coumpound/material and chemical properties.

Structure of matter. Atoms and Elements. Molecules and ionic compounds. Isotopes, atomic  and molecular weights . The Mole. Physical States of Matter. Basic rules of Chemical Nomenclature. Radioactivity, types of Radioactive Decay. Radioactive Series, Radioisotopes and some applications. Effects of Nuclear radiation on Matter.  Atomic Structure and Theory.  Energy. Electromagnetic radiations. Photoelectric Effect. The Hydrogen Atom. Quantum Numbers and  Atomic Orbitals Many-Electron Atoms.  General Principles of Electron Configurations. Periodic Atomic Properties. Types and Properties of  Chemical Bonds: Covalent, Ionic, Metallic. The Hydrogen bond. Types of non-bonding interactions or Intermolecular Forces including Dispersion Forces (London). Correlations from Structure and Properties: the Color of Substances, Magnetic Properties. Solutions. Type of Solution and Concentrations. Solubility. Colligative Properties: Osmotic Pressure and Lowering of Vapor  Pressure. Colloids. Red-Ox reactions. Oxidation Number.  Chemical Equilibrium.

Assessment

Oral Exam

Disability and Specific Learning Disorders (SLD)

Students who have registered their disability certification or SLD certification with the Inclusion and Right to Study Office can request to use conceptual maps (for keywords) during exams.

To this end, it is necessary to send the maps, two weeks before the exam date, to the course instructor, who will verify their compliance with the university guidelines and may request modifications.
