- Brief description
Basic knowledge of chemistry is a prerequisite for a deeper understanding of materials science as well as energy, environmental and process engineering. This module teaches this basic knowledge so that students have a solid basis for understanding the chemical composition, structure and derived properties of materials after completing the module.
- Teaching and learning outcomes
1. Classification of matter
2. Structure of matter
3. Periodic table of the elements (PSE)
4. Chemical notation and stoichiometry
5. Chemical bonds
6. Chemical reactions
7. Chemical equilibrium
8. Acids and bases
9. Introduction to organic chemistry
Practical course: learning how to handle chemicals, carrying out basic operations in the chemistry laboratory
- Overall workload
The total workload for the module is 150 hours (see also "ECTS credit points and grading").

- Exam duration and scope
The achievements to be acquired for this module include a) a 2-hour written examination and b) successful participation in the experimental work.
- Recommended prior knowledge
none
- Knowledge Broadening
Students can deduce the properties of an element based on its position in the periodic table, state reaction equations for simple chemical reactions and carry out simple stoichiometric calculations.
- Knowledge Understanding
Students have a sound basic knowledge of chemistry as a prerequisite for a deeper understanding of the structure and properties of materials.
- Communication and Cooperation
Students can record observations of chemical experiments and discuss them in the group.
