Description:
COURSE GOALS: Learning the systematic of the elements of Periodic System and their compounds with emphasis in understanding of impact of the nature of chemical bond and structure on properties/function.

LEARNING OUTCOMES AT THE LEVEL OF THE PROGRAMME:
1. KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING
1.2. demonstrate a thorough knowledge and understanding of the fundamental concepts in chemistry
1.4. demonstrate a thorough knowledge and understanding of the most important chemistry laws and theories
1.7. describe the framework of natural sciences
2. APPLYING KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING
2.2. describe important aspects of chemical change
2.3. apply stoichiometry
2.7. apply basic laboratory safety and security measures
3. MAKING JUDGMENTS
3.1. develop a critical scientific attitude towards research in general, and in particular by learning to critically evaluate arguments, assumptions, abstract concepts and data
5. LEARNING SKILLS
5.1. search for and use professional literature as well as any other sources of relevant information

LEARNING OUTCOMES SPECIFIC FOR THE COURSE:
On the basis of achieved knowledge students will be able by itself:
1. to explain the basic concepts in chemistry;
2. to express the most important chemical laws and theories;
3. to demonstrate competence and understanding of the structure of natural sciences knowledge;
4. to describe the chemical change, use stoichiometry, apply all safety precautions in handling with laboratory ware, equipment and chemicals;
5. to create motivated environment for active learning in order to enhance development of the pupils/students skills;
6. to critical scale the arguments, presumptions, concepts, data and results of the scientific investigations;
7. to use the professional literature and other relevant sources of information.
