Purpose and description of the content of education:
The subject covers the basic knowledge of general chemistry, which is the basis for further studies not only in the field of chemistry, but also those of an interdisciplinary nature. The purpose of the block "General and inorganic chemistry" (lecture and laboratory) is for the Student to acquire basic chemical knowledge enabling the student to understand the basics of the structure of matter and the physicochemical laws governing the transformation of matter, to determine the properties of elements and the structure and properties of chemical compounds, to interpret and record chemical reactions using reaction equations, performing chemical calculations based on the known chemical laws and rules, obtaining and identifying simple chemical compounds and working safely with chemicals, as well as using the acquired knowledge to describe basic phenomena occurring in living organisms.
