Learning Objectives
To provide to the students basic information on the language of chemistry (symbols and formulas), on the structure of matter, on the reaction mechanisms in water solution, on the main chemical elements, on the structure of inorganic molecules. Competence on General Chemistry, which constitute the basic knowledge needed for the following courses of the CdS, particularly on Organic Chemistry, non wooden materials, etc.
Type of Assessment
Written and oral examination
