Learning outcomes
The aim of the inorganic part is to acquaint students with topics related to the periodic table of elements. In this course we will discuss individual chemical elements, their occurrence in nature, chemical and physical properties, laboratory preparation, industrial production, important compounds and application. In the organic part students will learn fundamentals of nomenclature and stereochemistry and acquaint themselves with chemistry of selected classes of organic compounds.
Students will gain imporant knowledge of individual chemical elements of the periodic system, its properties and chemical reactivity. Students will gain an overview of the subject. Within this overview the student will see relationships of various chemical reactions as they fit under the common reaction mechanisms. The student will be able to understand chemical processes and to use the basic principles to explain diverse chemical phenomena.
Prerequisites
There is no preceding course wanted.

Assessment methods and criteria
unspecified
Students must be able to use systematic IUPAC nomenclature, and draw structure formulas of three-dimensional moleculars. Further, students must understand reaction mechanisms and chemical processes
