Universidad Pública de Navarra - Nafarroako Univertsitate Publikoa

Contents

The main objective of the subject is the study of the matter and its reactivity, therefore:
§ General knowledge about the structure and composition of the matter will be provided, covering from
macroscopic -aggregation states of the matter- to the nanoscopic -atom and chemical bonding-.
§ Atomic spectra, atomic structure and ground state configuration will explain the periodic table.
§ Termochemistry will establish the basis for studying chemical reactions from an energetic point of
view..
§ Chemical reactions will be studied using chemical equilibrium and chemical kinetics. Main chemical
reactivities will be also dealed.
Finally, an introduction to Organic Chemistry will be made according to formulation, naming and
reactivity. Special reactions will be finally studied (acid-base, oxidation, condensation and
polymerization)
