Annotation -
The course aims to establish chemistry as a molecular scientific discipline. Therefore, emphasis is placed on understanding the basic physical principles based on the particle structure of matter. From these principles, the fundamental building blocks of modern chemistry are gradually derived, including the periodicity of elements and their corresponding properties. The course is designed to focus on understanding the logical structure of chemistry, rather than just memorizing encyclopedic knowledge.

Course completion requirements - Czech

1. Zápočet je z látky probírané na cvičeních.

2. Zisk zápočtu opravňuje skládat zkoušku.

3. Zkouška je ústní formou. Studenti se rozdělí do skupin, kde každá skupina vypracuje krátkou prezentaci (ca 15 min) na zvolené chemické téma. Poté následuje ústního přezkoušení z látky probírané na přednáškách.
