Program

1. Basic and derived quantities: measurement untis, multiples and submultiples. Significant digits of a measurement and os a mathematical result. Rounding rules.
2. Structure of matter; sub-atomic particles. Atoms: nucleus and electrons. Atoms: atomic number Z and mass number A. Isotopes. Elements: atomic wieght and element weight. Molecules: molecular and minimum formulae. Molecular weight. Chemical reactions: definition of mole: molar weight. Stochiometry and reaction balance: stoichiometric coefficients, limiting reactant.
3. Atomic structure. Radiation - matter interactions: atomic absorption and emission. Motion of an electron around a nucleus: atomic orbitals and quantum numbers. Orbital structures. Electronic configurations of polyelectronic atoms. Periodic table of elements and periodic properties.
4. Chemical bond: valence of an atom and electronegativity of elements. Ionic bonds. Covalent bonds: Lewis'assumptions, electronic doublet sharing and orbitalic overlapping. Lewis' molecular structures. Electronic promotion and hybrid orbitals. Delocalized bonds. Intermolecular weak interactions.
5. Nomenclature of inorganic compounds. Oxydation number of an atom in a molecule. Classification of inorganic compounds. Oxydation numbers and oxyreductive balance.
6. States of matter. Phase changes. State equation. Ideal gas law. Solid and liquid features. State diagram of a pure substance: vapour pressure of a condensed phase. Ideal solutions and their colligative properties.
7. Chemical equilibria in ideal solutions: solubility processes, acid-base and oxyreductive equilibria.

Didactic methods

The course is based on lectures and classroom exercises. All lecture notes and slides, comprehensive homeworks, together with self-evaluation tests and final tests are available for all the students.

Learning assessment procedures

One hour- long written test on topics exposed during the course. Numeric calculation and practical exercises, based on the topics presented during the lessons.

Evaluation criteria

The final mark, from the written test, will consider the capability of the student in understanding and solving numeric calcilations, together with the capability in applying theoretical concepts. The final mark will be expressed in a thirtieth scale.
