Learning outcomes
The aim of the course is to acquire the main concepts of General Chemistry and some notions of Inorganic Chemistry. In particular: - models and general concepts for the explanation and prediction of some physics and chemistry properties of systems of increasing complexity: single atoms, ions, molecules, pure substances, macroscopic systems of one or more components; - concepts and methods to qualitatively and quantitatively predict the variations of the intensive and extensive properties of chemical systems in evolution. The course is integrated with a series of introductory laboratory experiments.

Examination Methods
The examination consists only of a written paper, containing 22 multiple choice tests. In order to pass the exam, it is necessary to obtain at least 60% of the maximum number of points. The exam does not differ for students who attend the lessons or not.
