Description:
The Chemistry 1 module allows students to acquire the basic knowledge about general and inorganic chemistry. Owing to that students should be capable to make a qualitative and quantitative choice of materials’ chemical composition to obtain materials with required properties. The gained knowledge will allow understanding the relationships between the chemical composition, structure, phase composition and specified (mechanical, electrical, magnetic, optical) practical properties of ceramic, metallic and polymer materials.
Prerequisites:
The knowledge of chemistry at the level of secondary grammar school is required.

Learning outcome of the module Codes of the learning outcomes of the programme to which the learning outcome of the module is related [level of competence: scale 1-5]
Understanding the relationships between the atomic structure of elements, their position in the periodic system, type of chemical bonds and potential properties of created engineering materials - ceramic, polymer and metallic materials. Learning basic issues of general and inorganic chemistry - learning the nature of the difference in reactions of inorganic and organic compounds and through that - possibilities of materials properties shaping. The knowledge of inorganic compounds classes - the skill to use proper nomenclature of inorganic compounds and to present their structure. [IM1A_CH1_1]

lecture [IM1A_CH1_fs_1]
The lecture on chemistry will focus especially on the structure of atoms and its close relationship to the periodic table of elements. The correlation will be analysed between the state of valence electrons and a possibility to create chemical bonds: ionic, covalent, metallic, hydrogen, Van der Waals, and as a result to create basic types of materials: ceramics, polymers and metals. The first part of the lecture will be devoted to the general and inorganic chemistry.
