Chemistry

Data is displayed for the academic year: 2025./2026.

Course Description

Adopt the basics of chemistry, chemical calculus and the modern theory of the structure of atoms and molecules, statistical mechanics, wave mechanics and quantum chemistry and thermodynamics. Introduction to the chemistry of elements based on the trends of change of physical and chemical properties within periodic table.

  7. Apply principles of experimental design in chemistry
  8. Identify and understand useful chemical information.

Forms of Teaching

Lectures

Lectures are given as an interactive presentation given by a lecturer. Students get handouts for each lecture in advance.

Seminars and workshops

At seminars students are involved in solving numerical problems related to theoretical concepts introduced previously at lectures.

Laboratory

Lab sessions will be devided into five 3-hour blocks weekly.
