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 and Chemical Kinetics will establish the basis for studying chemical reactions from an energetic point of view.
- Transformation of the matter will be studied using chemical equilibrium particularly in solubility/precipitation equilibria, proton exchange reaction and electron exchange reactions.
- 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)

Yes |
In order to pass the subject, the student must get at least 5 out of 10 in both the Long Answer tests and Tests and reports on the experimental work parts. If the student does not pass the subject the final grade will be the weighted average, unless the weighted average is greater than 5, in which case the final numerical grade will be 4.5.
