CHEMISTRY
Course objectives
The Chemistry course has an irreplaceable educational importance for all the Faculties with Scientific or Technical address. The goal that arises in this course is to explain the topics of general chemistry, both in experimental and theoretical aspects, along with the fundamentals of inorganic chemistry and some mention of organic chemistry.The student will acquire the ability to interconnect with the topics related phenomena to the behavior of matter and materials, with reference to vocational. The student will be enabled to understand and evaluate the chemistry, thermodynamics and structure of matter connected with the teachings of the subsequent degree course.

written test and subsequent oral test. The written test will consist of 3-4 exercises and will last 2.5-3 hours. The oral test will be a question lasting about 30-40 minutes. The examinations will fall on the dates established by the university but there would be a kind of pre-test.
To pass the exam it is necessary to obtain a mark not less than 18/30. The student must demonstrate
to have acquired sufficient knowledge of the subjects.To achieve a score of 30/30 cum laude, the student must instead demonstrate that he has acquired excellent knowledge of all the topics of the course, being able to connect them in a logical and coherent way.
