General and Inorganic Chemistry

Course Outline: General and Inorganic Chemistry

Course Responsible: Makris Dimitris

The objective of the course is the understanding of basic concepts pertaining to chemical theory related with the fundamental structure of matter, its properties and how these properties may affect the physical-chemical behaviour of matter. Furthermore, the scope of the course is the comprehension of the nature and mechanisms of chemical reactions and the relevant thermodynamic and kinetic phenomena.

Laboratory exercises intent to accustom students with basic laboratory practices and train them to fundamental calculations related with chemical reaction handling, as well as quantitative calculations.

Upon successful completion of the course, students will be able to:

  • Understand the basic principles of general and inorganic chemistry and its applications.
  • Have knowledge for basic notions, principles and theory related with chemical analysis and data processing.
  • Understand and evaluate methods of general and inorganic chemistry.
  • Properly and safely use laboratory devices and equipment.
  • Comprehend the impact of data processing on the reliability of the results.
  • Understand the implementation of methods of inorganic analysis
