Learning objectives
Knowledge and understanding.
The Course of General and Inorganic Chemistry intends to provide, on the basis of the interpretation and analysis of experimental data, the fundamental concepts needed to conduct the study of Biology. The theoretical treatment of many topics is followed by stoichiometric calculations that facilitate the understanding and deepening of chemical phenomena.
Applying knowledge and understanding.
The educational objective of the course is to come to acquire a simple language that can express clearly and with scientific rigor the development of a practical event and place in relation to the theoretical concept.
