The course deals with: i) the structure of the atoms; ii) the periodicity of their physical and chemical properties; iii) the types of chemical bonds; iv) the structure and geometry of the molecules; and v) the macroscopic behavior of materials in connection with their molecular structure. In addition to teaching, the course also includes individual laboratory training of students.

Students are trained in basic experimental technics, in a lab scale approach of some chemical engineering processes and also in good laboratory practices and application of safety rules in the chemical lab.
