At the end of the course the student must be able to know: write the formula of an inorganic and organic compound, recognize the type of chemical bond, know how to balance a redox and non-redox reaction with related stoichiometric calculations, know how to calculate the pH of a solution, knowing how to recognize an organic functional group and knowing its reactivity. Know the chemical structure of biomolecules
