Learning objectives
The course provides the fundamental concepts of General Chemistry and some basics of Inorganic Chemistry. Moreover, models and general concepts as means of justification and prediction of physical and chemical properties of systems of increasing degree of complexity (atoms, molecules, substances, multi-component systems, both homogeneous and heterogeneous) are illustrated and discussed. Concepts and methods for predicting qualitative and quantitative changes of intensive and extensive properties of evolving chemical systems will be also considered. Stoichiometry exercises will be solved to acquire competences to manage real problems of chemical interest. The course will consider some practical experiences in laboratory, to give skills for solving real analysis typical of a chemical laboratory, together with some information about the common equipment present in a chemical laboratory and how to work in safe conditions.
Examination methods
The exam will consists of a written test, including exercises and questions on the entire course program. The exam will be aimed at ascertaining the student's knowledge of the contents of the course. Particular attention will be given to the understanding of the concepts of general and inorganic chemistry, of the methods and tools used in the laboratory experiences.
For both attending and non-attending students the exam will focus on all the topics discussed during the theoretical part as well as on the part concerning laboratory experiences
For the part concerning laboratory experiences, written reports will be required concerning the methods and results obtained during the experiences. Laboratory reports will be evaluated to the purpose of formulating the final grade.

Didactic methods
The course will be delivered in person, without the use of streaming mode and recordings. The use of streaming or recordings will be at the complete discretion of the teacher. Finally, the teacher has the right to use supplementary teaching material (e.g. old recorded lessons) for students who demonstrate a justified need.
Learning assessment procedures
The exam will consist of a written test including the resolution of 4 exercises involving calculations and 18 theory questions on the entire teaching program. The 4 exercises, prepared by the teacher of the exercise course (12 CFU), will instead focus on the following topics: stoichiometry/weight relations; redox reactions; gaseous balances; acid-base balances; swabs; hydrolysis of salts; precipitation balances (Kps); heterogeneous/homogeneous systems, elementary analyses; molecular formula -brute/minimal; reaction yield; preparation of solutions. The student will have to select the only correct answer among the 5 possible ones. 4 laboratory reports will be evaluated in order to formulate the final grade. A periodic table will be provided; students should bring a scientific calculator with them.
Evaluation criteria
The exam will be aimed at ascertaining the student's knowledge of the contents of the teaching and the practical course (held by the teacher). Particular attention will be paid to the mastery of the concepts of general and inorganic chemistry, their application in solving practical problems and the understanding of the methods and instruments used in laboratory experiences. For the part concerning the laboratory experiences, 4 written reports will be required regarding the methods and results obtained during these experiences.
Criteria for the composition of the final grade
18 theory questions (1 point for each correct exercise; -0.2 points for each incorrect exercise; 0 points for each exercise unanswered or canceled by the student). 4 exercises (3 points for each correct exercise; -0.6 points for each incorrect exercise; 0 points for each exercise unanswered or canceled by the student). The 4 written reports regarding the laboratory experiences (from -2 to +2 points). The total vote is expressed in 30ths. Honors are obtained with a total score greater than 30.

Type D and Type F activities
The educational activities of type D are the student's choice, those of type F are additional knowledge useful for entering the world of work (internships, transversal skills, project works, etc.). According to the Didactic Regulations of the Course, some activities can be chosen and entered independently in the booklet, others must be approved by a special committee to verify their consistency with the study plan. Type D or F training activities can be covered by the following activities.
1. Teachings delivered at the University of Verona.

2. CLA language certificate or equivalency.
In addition to those required by the curriculum, the following are recognized for those matriculated from A.Y. 2021/2022:
- English language: 3 CFUs are recognized for each level of proficiency above that required by the course of study (if not already recognized in the previous course of study).
- Other languages and Italian for foreigners: 3 cfu are recognized for each proficiency level starting from A2 (if not already recognized in the previous study cycle).
These cfu will be recognized, up to a maximum of 6 cfu in total, of type F if the teaching plan allows it, or of type D. Additional elective credits for language knowledge may be recognized only if consistent with the student's educational project and if adequately motivated.

Only upon obtaining theOpen Badgehttps://talc.univr.it/it/servizi/open-badge - Opens in a new window will the booklet CFUs be automatically validated. The registration of CFUs in career is not instantaneous, but there will be some technical time to wait.
4. Contamination lab
The Contamination Lab Verona (CLab Verona) is an experiential pathway with modules dedicated to innovation and business culture that offers the opportunity to work in teams with students from all courses of study to solve challenges launched by companies and institutions. The pathway allows students to receive 6 CFUs in the D or F area. Discover the challenges: https://www.univr.it/clabverona- Opens in a new window
PLEASE NOTE: To be eligible to take any teaching activity, including electives, you must be enrolled in the year of the course in which it is offered. Therefore, it is recommended that undergraduates of the December and April sessions DO NOT take extracurricular activities of the new academic year, in which they are not enrolled, since these degree sessions are valid with reference to the previous academic year. Therefore, for activities carried out in an academic year in which they are not enrolled, no recognition of CFUs can be given.
5. Internship/internship period
In addition to the CFUs stipulated in the curriculum (check carefully what is indicated on the Educational Regulations) here- services - internships and apprenticeships - science and engineering It opens in a new window you can find information on how to activate the internship.
Check in the regulations which activities can be Type D and which can be Type F.
Please also note that for internships activated from October 1, 2024, it will be possible to recognize excess hours in terms of Type D credits, limited only to internship experiences carried out at host institutions outside the University.
