Learning Outcomes
The aim of the Chemistry course is to provide a cultural background and to standardize the level between the students. At the end of this course, students should have learned about: - the electronic structure of atoms and related periodic properties, including chemical bonds - the physical states of matter, emphasizing the properties of gases and aqueous solutions, - chemical equilibrium, including an introduction to thermochemistry - chemical kinetics

Content
Electronic structures & periodic properties (atomic radius, ionization energy, electronegativity…) Types of chemical bonds between atoms (ionic, covalent, metallic) and between molecules (dispersion force, dipole-dipole, hydrogen bond) involving molecule polarity (dipole moment, VESPR model…) States of matter: gaseous state (concept of pressure including partial pressure & vapour pressure, ideal gas law, real gases, density, kinetic theory of gases, diffusion, effusion), condensed matter states (in particular crystallographic structures of solids). Aqueous solutions (solubility, different types of concentrations, colligative properties) Chemical equilibrium (advancement table for reversible reactions, equilibrium constant K & quotient of reaction Q, Le Châtelier's principle, introduction to thermochemistry) Chemical Kinetics (rate of reaction, half-life, orders of reaction & rate laws, Arrhenius equation) Chemical kinetics Chemical equilibrium Application to electrochemistry
