| Gurantor department | Department of Chemistry |
| Subject guarantor | doc. RNDr. Bruno Kostura, Ph.D. |
| Study level | undergraduate or graduate |
Subject aims expressed by acquired skills and competences
Learn basic chemical concepts: atomic structure, chemical bonding, kinetics and thermodynamics.
To realize the mutual connection and interconnection of these terms, learn to seek and find the connection - Periodicity characteristics.
Apply acquired knowledge of general chemistry of the system of elements. Learning to work with the periodic table - to be able to position the elements in the periodic system to derive its basic chemical and physical properties.
