Inorganic nomenclature (Oxides, anhydrides, hydroxides, acids,Salts) Stoichiometry of the chemical reactions, concentration of the solutions, quantitative exercises. Atomic structure of the matter: atomic models, quantum numbers, Heisenberg uncertainty principle, Pauli exclusion principle. Periodic table. Essential on nuclear energy and radioactivity. Atomic bonds: covalent, ionic, metallic bonds, hydrogen bond, intermolecular forces. An introduction to organic chemistry: hybridization of atomic orbitals in C arbon atom, nomenclature, functional groups, polymers. Structure of Solids (metallic, ionic, molecular crystals). The gas laws: Boyle’s, Charles’s, Gay-Lussac’s and Avogadro’s laws, ideal and real gas law, the volume of gases in the chemical reactions. Fundamentals of Thermodynamics: 1° and 2° principle of Therm odynamics, Enthalpy, Entropy, free Energy. Chemical equilibriums: the equilibrium constant, relation between free energy and equilibrium. Heterogeneous equilibrium: state diagrams. Chemical kinetic: reaction order, Arrhenius’s law. Aqueous solutions: pH and hydrolysis. Solubility, colligative properties. Electrochemical systems: batteries, electrolysis.
