Number of ECTS credits

8

Mode of study

Not applicable.

Entry knowledge

Basic knowledge of chemisty, physics and mathematics at high-school level. 

Rules for evaluation and completion of the course

Particular tests will be taken during the exercise and seminar enable if the results are 80,0% and higher from both parts qualify the student directly to the final exam.
The credit qualification test is necessery if the student has score below 80,0%. Preliminary exam test is qualified as passed if the student get more than 50,00% from the nomenclature of chemistry and simultaneously more than 50,00% from numerical calculations.
Final exam: 50 % point from examination written test is required and basic theoretical knowledge of general chemistry has to be proved by oral examination. 
Attendance of two written tests at lessons during whole semestr is compulsory with consequences stated in art.7 paragraph 5 of Faculty directive governing clauses of Study and examination rule of BUT.
Preliminary exam test (if the student did not reached over 80% from particular tests, nomenclature of chemistry and numerical calculation are validated separately). Preliminary exam test is qualified as passed if the student get more than 50,00% from the nomenclature of chemistry and simultaneously more than 50,00% from numerical calculations. 

Aims

Introducing lectures of General chemistry are oriented to understanding of principles of formation of various types of bonds, energy of chemical processes, system of elements and structure of compounds in relation to their properties. 
Basic relations between structures and properties on atomic level, principles of bond formation in relation to stability, reaction rate, changes of energy during reaction, phase and chemical equilibria in relation to technological problems.
