fields of study / plans the course is directly associated with
Course objectives
The students will be acquainted with the subject of chemistry including the basic branches of chemistry and the importance of chemistry for pharmacists. The course will focus on the following items: fundamental chemical terms and laws, equations for calculating the quantity of substance and concentration, atomic structure, radioactivity, basic equations used in spectral analysis, models of atomic orbitals, chemical bond including hybridization, physical states of matter, the periodic law and the classification of elements including forms and the division of the periodic system into groups, and the properties of individual elements in the periodic table.
Seminars will concentrate on nomenclature and formation of chemical formulas. During practical exercises, the students will be acquainted with the basics of laboratory work and will also prepare some inorganic compounds according to calculated equations. The students will elaborate protocols containing the description of the principle of the method and all calculations including the calculation of theoretical yield which will be compared with the practical yield obtained.
Learning outcomes
After completing the course student will:
-know basic chemical glassware,equipment and apparatus;
-be able to perform basic laboratory operations independently;
-know inorganic compound nomenclature and basic chemical clculations;
-understand the basic principles of general chemistry;
-know basic chemistry of elements

Study Materials
Teacher's information
Course evaluation.
The course consists of lectures and exercises. 6 credits can be obtained for the course under the following conditions:
1. successfull completion of seminars and exercises
Attendance at all seminars and exercises is compulsory.
Absence from seminars and exercises must be documented by a reliable medical certificate.
In case of another reason for absence, the student will replace the exercise in the last week.
Protocols are handed in from the exercises, which are either accepted by the teachers after checking, or returned for completion. Acceptance of all protocols is a condition for admission to the exam.
2. successful completion of the exam
The exam is oral and is divided into General Chemistry and Inorganic Chemistry, from which the student chooses one question at random. The final grade is the average of both oral parts. If one of the parts is graded as F, the exam result is F.
