Learning outcomes
The aim of this course is to teach students the fundamentals of inorganic chemistry. This includes understanding the structure of atoms and molecules, explaining the principles of chemical processes, and conducting basic chemical calculations. The content of the course is aligned with the secondary school chemistry curriculum and is designed to assess the level of chemistry knowledge among first-year students. This understanding is essential for their subsequent studies in restoration technology.

Prerequisites
