Obligatory base module 1
Learning outcomes
The student who has passed the course:
* Can describe the electronic structure of the atoms and knows the relations between electronic structure and the properties of atoms
* Knows different types of chemical bonding and can use this knowledge to predict the properties of substances
* Can predict molecular shape using VSEPR and valence-bond theories
* Knows the main properties of gases, liquids, and solids and relates them to the bonding
* Knows the laws of thermodynamics and how to use them, also for describing of physical and chemical equilibria
* Knows main acid-base theories and can calculate pH of simple solutions
* Can balance redox equations and knows the basics of electrochemistry
* Knows the basics of chemical kinetics and can use rate laws
* Knows the most important inorganic compounds (incl. complexes), their nomenclature and reactions
