| Objectives | |
|---|---|
| STUDY, UNDERSTANDING AND RATIONALIZATION OF CHEMICAL PHENOMENA, IE STRUCTURING OF MATTER AND ITS PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL TRANSFORMATIONS. AMONG THE EXPECTED RESULTS FOR LEARNING INCLUDES THE DEVELOPMENT OF AN ATOMISTIC VIEW OF THE SUBSTANCES AND THE SKILLS TO CONNECT MACROSCOPIC OBSERVATIONS WITH THE ATOMISTIC VIEW OF THE REACTIONS. |
| Prerequisites | |
|---|---|
| FUNDAMENTALS OF MATHEMATICS AND PHYSICS |
| Contents | |
|---|---|
| ATOMIC STRUCTURE OF MATTER: ATOMS AND ELECTRICAL CHARGES. ATOMIC AND MOLECULAR WEIGHT. THE CONCEPT OF MOLE. ELECTRON. IONIZATION ENERGY AND ELECTRON AFFINITY. MASS OF THE ATOMS AND MOLECULES. CURRENT MODEL OF THE HYDROGEN ATOM. MEANING OF THE WAVE FUNCTION. AUFBAU OF ATOMS AND THEIR ELECTRONIC CONFIGURATION. PERIODIC TABLE. CHEMICAL BONDING: CHEMICAL FORMULAS. IONIC BOND. COVALENT BOND. DELOCALIZATION OF THE ELECTRONS AND RESONANCE. HYBRIDIZATION AND MOLECULAR GEOMETRY. METALLIC BOND. WEAK INTERACTIONS AND CONDENSED STATES. FEATURES OF VALENCE OF THE ELEMENTS IN RELATION TO THEIR POSITION IN THE PERIODIC SYSTEM. STOICHIOMETRY: NUMBER OF OXIDATION. CHEMICAL REACTIONS AND REACTION EQUATIONS. OXIDATION-REDUCTION REACTIONS. GAS, SOLID AND LIQUID PRESSURE. BOYLE'S LAW. LAW OF CHARLES AND GAY-LUSSAC. ABSOLUTE TEMPERATURE SCALE. EQUATION OF STATE OF AN IDEAL GAS. PARTIAL PRESSURES AND DALTON'S LAW. PROPERTIES OF SOLIDS. LATTICES AND UNIT CELLS. DESCRIPTION OF SOME CRYSTAL LATTICES. TYPES OF SOLIDS. COVALENT SOLIDS, MOLECULAR, IONIC AND METALLIC. LIQUIDS PHASE EQUILIBRIUM SOLID-LIQUID, SOLID-GAS AND LIQUID-GAS.

ELECTROCHEMISTRY: ELECTRODE POTENTIAL AND GALVANIC CELLS. |
| Teaching Methods | |
|---|---|
| THE COURSE COVERS LECTURES AND CLASSROOM EXERCISES. THE EXERCISES IN THE CLASSROOM IS AWARDED TO STUDENTS SOLVING CHEMICAL PROBLEMS THAT REPRESENT THE EXPRESSION IN CONCRETE FORM AND QUANTITATIVE CONCEPTS WHICH ARE FROM TIME TO TIME PROVIDED IN THE LECTURES. THE METHOD OF TROUBLESHOOTING IS CHOSEN SO AS TO DEMONSTRATE THE REASONING AND IS BASED ON A PROGRESSIVE APPROACH, THE INITIAL STEP OF UNDERSTANDING OF THE PROBLEM FOLLOWS THE PLANNING PHASE AND RESOLUTION. THE PLANNING PHASE IS TO THINK ABOUT HOW TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM BEFORE MANIPULATING THE NUMERICAL VALUES. THE LAST PHASE, THAT OF VERIFICATION, PROMOTES THE HABIT OF ASSESSING THE REASONABLENESS OF THE RESPONSE AND TO VERIFY CONSISTENCY WITH THE FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES OF CHEMISTRY. |
| Verification of learning | |
|---|---|
| THE ASSESSMENT OF THE ACHIEVEMENT OF THE OBJECTIVES WILL BE DONE THROUGH A TEST OF STECHIOMETRY AND THEORY. TO PASS THE EXAM, THE STUDENT MUST DEMONSTRATE AN UNDERSTANDING OF AND BE ABLE TO APPLY THE MAIN CONCEPTS PRESENTED IN THE COURSE. THE VOTE, OUT OF THIRTY WITH ANY PRAISE, DEPENDS ON THE MATURITY GAINED ON THE COURSE CONTENT, TAKING INTO ACCOUNT THE QUALITY OF EXPOSURE AND JUDGMENT DEMONSTRATED. |
