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 gases, 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 methodology of teaching is:
Verbal - The transmission of the contents of each module is based essentially on exhibition, however, the aim is
also that there is room for Interrogation / Explanation leading the group dialogue.
Active - Execution of individual and group work, including exercises and laboratory experiments. These
modalities are associated with the modules of the course and allow students to take responsibility and socialize.
