Course objectives supported by learning outcomes
The aim of the course is to acquaint students with the basics of chemistry, chemical technology and materials chemistry. The course in the introduction summarizes and explains the basic knowledge and concepts of general, inorganic and organic chemistry. The following is the application of basic theoretical knowledge in selected areas of materials chemistry and industry. After completing the course, the student is able to solve basic problems in the field of chemistry and is familiar with the application potential of individual sub-areas.
Learning outcomes
After completing the course, students will be able to work with the information base of modern chemistry and understand its relationship to chemical theory. They will be able to relate chemical theory to the practice of chemical production and critically assess the information content of small molecule analyses (waste management) and solid material analyses (materials).

Exam conditions
The full-time students' presentation will be a collective work of groups of 5 students. For part-time students, the presentation is an individual work. Students must register for the presentation by November 1. Students will be divided into groups alphabetically and will receive their presentation topic by November 10. Professor will evaluate each presentation by point score. Exam: The subject of the exam is to determine the structure of an organic molecule from spectra using chemical tables, the ChemCalc web service, and the Pub Chem database.
