Contents

The course introduce stoichiometry, the electron structure of the atom, the periodic table, chemical bonds in molecules and intermolecular forces is solid, liquids and in gas phase. Chemical equilibrium, in liquids, solutions and acid-base equilibrium, solubility and complex ion equilibrium are discussed. The relation between all equilibrium constants and thermodynamics Gibbs free energies is introduced in an general introduction of thermodynamics. The radioactivity is discussed with respect to its danger for living organism. Chemical kinetics of chemical reactions are analyzed as well as general electro chemistry.
