Foundations of Inorganic and Organic Chemistry

The course introduces the fundamental principles of the atomic structure of matter, of the chemical bond, of the states of aggregation of matter, of its properties and transformations (Teaching Unit 1 of General and Inorganic Chemistry), and provides a basic knowledge of nomenclature, structure and reactivity of the main functional groups present in organic molecules (Teaching Unit 2 of Organic Chemistry).

At the end of the course the students will be able to: understand the ability of a substance to react and estimate the corresponding energy exchanges in environment-related applications; apply the fundamental principles of matter, chemical and chemical reactivity of the solutions to the subsequent disciplines of the CdL that depend on these principles for a correct understanding, facing environmental pollution problems related to chemistry using the scientific method, mastering knowledge and tools
basic necessary to identify and describe the main structural characteristics, the physico-chemical properties and reactivity of a given organic molecular system. The student will acquire skills to evaluate chemical problems in the industrial, economic, environmental and social fields.
