General expected learning outcomes The course aims to provide the student with a solid foundation in the fundamental concepts of chemistry, with particular reference to the chemistry of the elements, which will be the cultural heritage of the graduate in CTF. It deals with the indispensable topics for a correct understanding of matter and its transformations. On this basis it will be possible to found the skills that the student will have the opportunity to acquire in the courses of the following years. The course includes numerical exercises that make the student able to face the problems he/she will encounter in the various areas of chemistry, providing the essential tools for their analysis. Specific expected learning outcomes 1. Knowledge and understanding The student will have the opportunity to learn about general chemical structures and models, master the concepts underlying the properties and reactivity of matter, elements and chemical compounds, and understand the problems related to stoichiometry. He/she therefore knows the basic principles of general chemistry starting from the atomic structure, the periodic table and the chemical bond, up to chemical reactions (qualitative and quantitative aspects) with elements of kinetics and chemical thermodynamics and description of the aggregation states of matter. He/she is able to describe the equilibria (heterogeneous and homogeneous) and the fundamentals of electrochemistry. He/she will also have acquired a basic knowledge of the properties of the elements and their compounds. 2. Applying knowledge and understanding Upon completion of the course the student will be able to correlate the various topics developed in the program by relating the properties of matter with the properties of atoms and molecules. He/she will also become familiar with the correct and appropriate application of calculation tools, using the disciplinary methods of investigation, in order to solve application questions. 3. Making judgements The organization of the relevant exercises about the topics covered in the lectures will offer the student the opportunity to put to the test the knowledge acquired in relation to the various themes proposed. This allows to develop the ability to apply the concepts studied to practical cases and to critically evaluate the outcome and the method used in the procedures adopted. 4. Communication skills In addition to providing basic knowledge, the course aims to make the student acquire mastery of language and appropriate use of chemical terminology and scientific method, essential for communicating in the national and international scientific context. To this end, ample space is dedicated to informal interventions and discussions during the lessons and to the oral exam. 5. Learning skills The stimulus to use a correct scientific formalism and to formulate logically consistent deductions starting from the concepts and principles that underlie chemical science constitute a solid training towards cultural growth in the autonomy of future studies and professional activities.
