Learning outcomes:
This Course aims to give an introduction to the study of general chemistry. It is intended that the student perceives, develop and apply fundamental knowledge in general chemistry, namely:
Use the Periodic Table as a tool in understanding the chemistry of the elements.
Understanding the theories of chemical bonding and determine the geometry of the molecules. Relate the physical properties of substances with intermolecular forces.
Solve problems with gas, with emphasis on the use of the ideal gas law and Dalton's law.
Classify solids according to the chemical bond and its crystal structure.
Use the crystal field theory to predict the structure and properties of transition metal complexes.
Understand the laws of thermodynamics and its application in chemistry.
Knowing and applying the fundamental concepts of chemical kinetics.

Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria:
The transmission of the course content is mainly expository, although there is also room for Questioning / Explanation. The use of audiovisuals to present the content makes it easier to understand and learn; for this purpose, the Moodle e-Learning platform is used.
Students will have active learning through individual and group work, including exercises and laboratory experiments. These activities align with the course modules and allow students to take responsibility and socialize. Knowledge assessment is done through two individual tests worth 80%. The average must be equal to or higher than 9.5 to pass. The assessment of practical skills is done through laboratory performance, worth 20%. The grade must be equal to or higher than 9.5 to attend.
