Course content

Introduction to basic concepts, chemical formulas and nomenclature. Atomic structure, basic orbital theory and electron configuration. Period system, electronegativity and chemical bonding types. Moles, concentrations (molar, mass percent) and dilution. Chemical reactions, reaction equations and stoichiometry. Chemical equilibria, reaction quotient and Le Chatelier's principle. Acids, bases, pH, buffer solutions, titration. Oxidation and reduction reactions (oxidation numbers and balancing). Chemical substances and HSE.

Introduction to carbon compounds involving structure, characteristics, nomenclature, analysis of conformation, resonance, inductive effect, isomerism, stereo-chemistry, a selection of organic reactions.

Learning outcome

The student can explain basic atomic theory, orbital theory and the periodic system, and use this to indicate elementary electron configurations for elements and ions. The student can describe relationships between electron structure, chemical properties and bonds for elements and chemical compounds. The student can apply nomenclature rules to name inorganic and organic compounds. The student can explain basic chemical bonding theories, as well as use electronegativity to determine the type of bonding. The student can set up Lewis structures. The student should be able to demonstrate knowledge of some important main types of chemical reactions and draw up reaction equations based on this. The student can balance reaction equations and perform calculations on the basis of such equations (stoichiometry). The student can calculate mass, amount of substance and concentration. The student can perform chemical equilibrium calculations and apply Le Chatelier's principle. The student can calculate pH and buffer capacity. The student can set up and balance oxidation and reduction reactions. The student is able to explain nomenclature, characteristics and structure of organic compounds and has knowledge about organic reactions. The student should be able to conduct simple chemical laboratory tests and document results in simple reports based on standardized methods. The student can demonstrate the importance of HSE in general, and in the laboratory work special. The candidate should be able to handle chemicals properly and use safety data sheets.

Further on evaluation

Required for the final examination: Approved exercises and laboratory course. 6 theory excercises must be passed. Deferred examination: May / June. In case of postponed examination (continuation examination), written examination may be changed to oral examination. Permitted aids on the exam: Gordon Aylward and Tristan Findlay: SI Chemical Data, Wiley. Only simple calculators may be used during the examination. For applications for credentialing, approval and integration of courses from previous years or other institutions' equivalent education, each application will be dealt with individually and the applicant must be able to count credits for overlapping courses.
