Learning outcomes

After the course, the student should be able to

• account for the electron structure at atoms and the theoretical background to the periodic system and relate these to the physical and chemical properties of elements
• describe various types of chemical bonding and intermolecular forces and relate them to the physical properties of matter
• account for the meaning of common properties and concepts within stoichiometry, kinetics, basic thermodynamics and chemical equilibrium and apply these to carry out calculations as well as solve problems within these fields.
• carry out basic laboratory work in a correct and safe way and carry out simpler risk and security assessments
• document laboratory work in laboratory journal and oral/in writing account for the results of the laboratory session
• give examples of how parts of the course connect to activities within society and industry with relevance for the education and describe how the course content has importance for man, the environment, and society

Content

The atom's electronic structure, basic quantum mechanics concepts, the periodic system, chemical bonding, inter and intramolecular forces, stoichiometry, basic kinetics, thermodynamics, and electrochemistry, chemical equilibria including the buffer systems. Laboratory methodology and basic risk assessment

Instruction

Lectures, lessons, laboratory work, seminars and project.

Assessment

Written examinations are organised at the end of the course and corresponds 5 credits. The laboratory sessions correspond to 4 credits and assignments 1 credit. To pass final grades is required that all parts have been passed. The final grade corresponds to a weighted sum of the results of the. the different components of the course.

Other directives

This course cannot be included in a degree together with the course 1KB000 (Chemical principles I) or 1KB013 (The basic principles of chemistry).
