The Chemistry course takes part of Information and communication technologies engineering degree as a fundamental exam in order to comprehend matter structure at its microscopical level and extrapolate its macroscopic properties. The course intends to supply the student with the basis necessary to understand chemical phenomenon and structure, properties and transformation of matter. |
|
In order to successfully attend the course it is necessary a basic knowledge on the general law of chemistry, physic, elementary simbology and nomenclature. It is strongly suggested to at least attend Mathematical Analysis and Physics courses before approaching Chemistry. |
|
At the end of the course the student shall acquire notions about microscopic constitution of matter and on the origin of physical phenomenons as state transitions, electric conductivity and on polymer nature. |
Field of application of chemistry.
Periodic Table and periodic properties of elements.
Atomic structures, Bohr model, Quantum mechanical model, Orbitals, Electron Configuration.

For each lesson several questions, both with multiple answers and with open ones, will be proposed. The exercises shall be evaluated on the basis of their accuracy and, regarding the open answers, according to the completeness with which the object is treated. |
