The course has been designed in order to provide students with basic concepts and methods for the understanding and interpretation of chemical processes, of the relationships between structure and properties of materials, from metals to plastics, of the behaviour of systems for generation of energy.
In order to follow successfully the course, the students are required to possess some introductory chemical notions as chemical nomenclature, concept of atomic and molecular mass, balancing of simple chemical equations. |
