CHIMICA INORGANICA II E LABORATORIO

Knowledge and understanding: Knowledge of the fundamental aspects of the chemistry of the periodic table elements, particularly the properties of the block d elements and their main applications.

Applied knowledge and understanding: Ability to apply the knowledge of inorganic chemistry to devise and support arguments about the topics covered in the course

Making judgments: Ability to interpret the experimental data and chemical behavior of matter, based on the acquired knowledge and the laboratory experience.

Communication skills: To acquire language properties in describing aspects of inorganic chemistry and chemistry in general.

Learning Skill: Stimulate learning capacity by participating in lessons and studying the reference teaching material, in order to undertake more advanced levels that provide a greater degree of autonomy, such as master's degrees

In-room lectures and Lab experiences

Should teaching be carried out in mixed mode or remotely, it may be necessary to introduce changes with respect to previous statements, in line with the programme planned and outlined in the syllabus.
