Objective

After completion of the course the student understands the essential concepts related to the structure of elements and compounds. He/she is also able to conduct basic calculations concerning the amount of substance, irreversible reactions, the contents of solutions and the pH of strong acids and bases. In addition, he/she is familiar with the behavior of element groups on a general level and with the most important organic compounds and their naming.
