Learning outcomes

General aims of this education are to provide the essential elements to acquire the modern theories on the atomic and molecular structure of the inorganic and organic matter.
The students should be able to comprehend and analyse the macroscopic phenomena emerging from several molecular steps and should focus their attention on the importance of the energetic variations associated to the phenomena.
A major attention will be addressed to the study of the interactions present in the organic compounds, to help the student to acquire durable theoretical basis to understand the complex biochemical processes through a “molecular key”.
Specific aims are:
Understanding the electronic configuration in order to understand the properties 'periodic and reactivity' of chemical elements.
Understanding of changes in the external electronic structure in the molecules formation.
Understanding the nature of the forces between the molecules.
To explain the chemical and physical concepts of energy and balance, which regulate all biological phenomena.
Understanding the importance of water as a solvent in biological systems; understanding the properties of acids and bases. Understanding the concept of pH and buffer solutions in biological systems.
Understanding the meaning of osmotic flow and its importance in medicine.
Understanding the significance of reactions of electron transfer in biological systems.
Understanding the importance of the structure of organic molecules and recognize the different classes of organic compounds, their officials and their chemical reactivity.
