Learning outcomes

The aim of the course is to acquire the main concepts of General Chemistry and some notions of Inorganic Chemistry.
At the end of the course the student must be able to solve problems regarding the General Chemistry, showing good reasoning skills and ability in the connection of different concepts. The course also aims to give to the student adequate means in order to deal with other courses, such as Organic Chemistry, Biochemistry, etc...

In particular, the course is preparatory to the Organic Chemistry course.

Program

The support material (slides) will be vailable via the Moodle platform.

Introduction. Chemical and physical properties of matter and their measurements.
Elements, atoms and compounds.
Nomenclature of inorganic compounds.
Types of chemical reactions. Reaction stoichiometry.
Thermochemistry. Internal energy and enthalpy. Standard enthalpy of reaction and formation.
Atomic structure. Atomic orbitals. Electronic configuration, Aufbau principle.
Periodic properties: atomic and ionic radii, ionization energy, electron affinity, electronegativity.
Elementary notions on the ionic bond. Ionic compounds.
Covalent bond. Lewis formula. Resonance. Molecular geometry and polarity. Orbital hybridisation. Single and multiple bonds.
Interparticle forces.
Properties of liquids. Solutions. Binary liquid mixtures. Distillation.
Chemical kinetics. Arrhenius equation. Reaction mechanisms.
Chemical equilibrium. Equilibrium constant.
Acid-base equilibrium. Acid, base and salt solutions. Acid-base titration. Buffer solutions.
Solubility equilibrium.
Entropy. Spontaneous processes. Gibbs free energy. Standard free energy of reaction and formation.
Gas laws.
Electrochemistry.


The course is made of 48 h of lectures.

Examination Methods

The exam will take place through a written multiple-choice test.
The student will address 18 theoretical questions (1 point each) concerning the entire Program. Other 4 questions (3 points each) will focus on the application of theoretical concepts through exercises.
For each wrong answer -20% and 0 points for canceled or not given answers.
The final mark will be expressed in thirtieths.
Students who achieve a score of 17 will be entitled to take an oral exam in order to reach the grade of 18.
Students who achieve a score equal to or greater than 29/30 will be entitled to take an oral exam to evaluate the assignment of Honors.
These rules apply for both attending and non-attending students.

Students with disabilities or specific learning disorders (SLD), who intend to request the adaptation of the exam, must follow the instructions given HERE
