	Objectives
	THE AIM OF THE COURSE IS TO INTRODUCE STUDENTS TO THE LANGUAGE AND THE BASIC CONCEPTS OF GENERAL CHEMISTRY. KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING: ACQUISITION OF THE BASIC CONCEPTS OF CHEMISTRY, IN PARTICULAR AS CONCERNS THE STRUCTURE AND PROPERTIES OF MATTER, THE PRINCIPLES OF CHEMICAL REACTIVITY AND THE TECHNIQUES THAT ALLOW TO DESCRIBE AND PREDICT THE PERFORMANCE OF THE CHEMICAL REACTIONS. APPLYING KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING: THE STUDENT WILL BE ABLE TO PERFORM THE CALCULATIONS NECESSARY TO STUDY THE DIFFERENT CLASSES OF CHEMICAL REACTIONS. HE/SHE WILL BE ALSO ABLE TO EVALUATE THE TRANSFORMATIONS OF MATTER, AND APPLY THE CORRECT THEORETICAL INTERPRETATION.

	Teaching Methods
	LECTURES (4 CFU = 32 HOURS) AND STOICHIOMETRY EXERCISES (2 CFU = 24 HOURS).

	Verification of learning
	BOTH WRITTEN AND ORAL EXAMINATIONS ARE REQUIRED. THE ORAL EXAMINATION CAN BE ACCESSED ONLY AFTER A POSITIVE RESULT OF THE WRITTEN TEST (MINIMUM OF 18 POINTS ACQUIRED). WRITTEN EXAMINATION OF STOICHIOMETRY: THE TEST CONSISTS IN THE RESOLUTION OF 4 STOICHIOMETRY EXERCISES ON THE TOPICS STUDIED DURING THE TEACHING CLASS, IN A TIME OF 2 HOURS. ORAL TEST: THE ORAL EXAMINATION IS NORMALLY SCHEDULED FEW DAYS AFTER THE WRITTEN TEST AND INCLUDES A BRIEF DISCUSSION OF THE RESULTS OF THE WRITTEN TEST, AND AT LEAST TWO QUESTIONS ABOUT OTHER TOPICS OF THE PROGRAM. STUDENTS HAVE TO DEMONSTRATE UNDERSTANDING OF SELECTED TOPICS AND ADEQUATE LANGUAGE SKILLS.
