Objectives

This course provides the basic knowledge of general and inorganic chemistry. It aims to introduce the student to the learning of the matter properties in the different states, its compositions and structure, bonding theories, intermolecular interactions and elementary electrochemistry. Moreover, the course deals with the basic principles in the elements and compounds properties.
Moreover, the student will have knowledge of the fundamental laws that govern chemical transformations and will learn to reason about chemical reactions.
