Learning outcomes

At the end of the course, the student has a qualitative but rigorous knowledge of the principles of interpretation of general and inorganic chemistry. In particular, it is able to: - Understand and describe the composition, structure and reactivity of molecules - using the periodic law as a basis for rationalization of the variety and complexity of chemical phenomena; - perform simple laboratory manipulations. The student also has knowledge of the chemical elements of more widespread in the environment, with particular attention to their importance in natural and industrial processes.
