OVERVIEW

The Inorganic Chemistry module, starting from the study of the main elements of the periodic table, with particular attention to the solid state and the relationship between bonding, structure, and properties, provides the necessary tools for evaluating the properties of inorganic substances, with reference to their applications.

The Analytical Chemistry module provides a general overview of the principles and role of the discipline, from the sample treatment to the data processing, including the main instrumental techniques of analysis (spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, chromatography), with particular emphasis on the field of materials science.

Both modules pay great attention to the connections with the concepts acquired in the General Chemistry with Laboratory course (110732), as well as to the technological implications in industrial production and materials science.

EXAM DESCRIPTION

The exam consists of a written test and an oral test. Before taking the exam, students must register online on the appropriate site.

The General and Laboratory Chemistry exam is preparatory. To access the exam it is necessary to have followed the laboratory activities and submitted the relevant reports.

ASSESSMENT METHODS

The exam consists of a written test (preliminary) and an oral test (subject to passing the written test), which cover topics from both modules of the course.

The written test consists of exercises similar to those tackled during the course and descriptive questions. The oral test, reserved for students who have successfully completed the written test (≥18/30), is public. The oral examination aims to ascertain the possession of knowledge and the level of depth in the subject achieved by the student.

The final grade, a single mark, is calculated as the average of the written test and the oral test, in addition to the assessment of laboratory experiences and the evaluation of the related reports.

FURTHER INFORMATION

Students who have valid certification of physical or learning disabilities on file with the University and who wish to discuss possible accommodations or other circumstances regarding lectures, coursework and exams, should speak both with the instructor and with Professor Sergio Di Domizio (sergio.didomizio@unige.it), the Department’s disability liaison.
