Monologic (reading, lecture, briefing)
  • Preparation for an exam - 150 hours per semester
Learning outcomes
Students will get acquainted with the basics of atom structure (with emphasis on the aufbau principle of the electron shell), chemical bonds (covalent, ionic, metal, bonding in solids) and the classification of chemical reactions. The issue of chemical nomenclature and basic chemical calculations is an integral part.
The graduate is well informed about general chemistry and especially is able to solve basic chemical calculations.
Prerequisites
unspecified

Assessment methods and criteria
Oral examination

Periodical control - two tests, The final examination consists of two parts - oral and written test.
