Goals
After the completed course the student must be able to:
- identify, select and explain which concepts are involved in which way in chemical phenomena.
- explain, on a quantum mechanical basis, the basic properties of atoms and molecules.
- identify and explain the basic forms of intermolecular interactions and how those determine the phase behavior of material.
- explain and calculate the thermodynamic, kinetic, and electrochemical characteristics of simple chemical reactions.
- recognize simple chemical compounds both by name and by chemical formula, recall their basic properties and how those lead to applications.
- classify and evaluate the feasibility of simple organic reactions and describe their structural results.
