ECTS credit allocation (and other scores): 1.00 OR 2.00 (depends on study program) Basic information on ECTS credits allocation principles:
  • the annual hourly workload of the student’s work required to achieve the expected learning outcomes for a given stage is 1500-1800h, corresponding to 60 ECTS;
  • the student’s weekly hourly workload is 45 h;
  • 1 ECTS point corresponds to 25-30 hours of student work needed to achieve the assumed learning outcomes;
  • weekly student workload necessary to achieve the assumed learning outcomes allows to obtain 1.5 ECTS;
  • work required to pass the course, which has been assigned 3 ECTS, constitutes 10% of the semester student load.

Prerequisites (description):

The knowledge of chemistry at the level of secondary school, interest of natural sciences.

Short description:

The course is focused on structure and properties of chemical compounds and basic types of reactions.

Full description:

The lectures of general chemistry are concerned mainly with the structure and properties of inorganic chemical molecules, methods of their identifications and the major type of reactions.

1. Structure of atoms, periodic table

2. Structure of chemical molecules (orbitals, chemical bonds)

3. States of the matter (ideal and real systems)

4. Properties of electrolyte and non-electrolyte solutions

5. Reaction types in aqueous solutions (acid-base, redox, complex

formation and precipitation equilibria)

6. Characteristic of metallic compounds

7. Chemistry of non-metallic compounds

8. Chemical and electrochemical methods in analysis of

inorganic compounds

9. Environmental chemistry
