Catalogo dei Corsi di studio

The student will attain
a fair mastery of differential and integral calculus for real functions
of a real variable.

In thi way he will achieve the introductory knowledge and the
abilities for the second course of
Mathematics, in which he will be exposed to the basic mathematical tools needed
in Physics and Chemistry

By attending this course students are expected to acquire the basic language and to adopt the way of reasoning which are peculiar to the chemical science, both in qualitative and in quantitative terms, which will allow them to follow on a solid basis the further chemical courses (physical-chemistry, organic chemistry, analytical chemistry).

To give the students the essential linguistic competences (in general, the English language) needed to deal with
written scientific communication

To provide the students with the methodology and the basic tools to study the functions of several variables and linear systems.

The aim of the course is to provide basic knowledge and principles
of qualitative analysis performed using “classic” methods, data interpretation
and evaluation on the basis of theory of chemical equilibrium. In order to
achieve a meaningful learning skill, laboratory work will give the students the
opportunity to experience such concepts and principles by using analytical
procedures.

Advances on the chemical bond
knowledge already introduced in the General Chemistry course. Knowledge of bond theories
applied to the most important molecules built out of the elements of the periodic table.
The chemical bond in coordination complexes. Advanced knowledge on the
properties and reactivity of the elements related to their electronic
structure throughout the periodic table

This course first illustrates the fundamental principles of
classical mechanics, the concepts of force, work and energy,

and then the first and second law of tghermodynamics (i.e. the
general principles concerning energy conservation, and system evolution,
respectively). The student will be introduced to the scientific method, in
particular to modelling required to solve simple problems.risultati attesi:

At the
end of the course, the student should know the principles of classical
mechanics and thermodynamics, and the concepts of force, work, energy and
potential. The student should be able to employ them to solve problems of moderate
complexity

Full understanding of the concepts of enthalpy and entropy upon which the course of a chemical reaction is based.Assimilation of the principles and methods of thermodynamics. Ability of application of thermodynamics to systems of interest in physics and chemistry with particular emphasis on understanding the laws that govern energy transformations. Capacity to calculate the feasibility of a chemical reaction. Some of these points will be handled by laboratory experiments.

The course will provide students with knowledge of the main classes of monofunctional organic compounds, accompanied by the general principles which determine the relationships between structure and reactivity, both in kinetic and thermodynamic sense. The course will also provide the basic principles of organic synthesis.

The course aims to give students the basic principles of the quantitative chemical analysis of inorganic species (cations and anions) in samples having a composition "approximately" known and, through numerical and laboratory (individual) tests, to develop the "analytical sensitivity" necessary for the preparation and execution of any chemical analysis.The student will understand that "doing" involves a chemical analysis of the choices. These will be correct only if, in addition to having a broad and clear of analytical techniques and methods available, the student is also able to interpret principles, fields of applicability and limitations, so to check and modify according to the needs of specific analyses.

Acquire an in-dept knowledge of the electromagnetic interaction, forces between charges, formal treatment of the fields and of their mutual induction. Study the electrical and the magnetic nature of the matter, know the electromagnetic nature of the light and the basic treatment of the physical optic

teaching of the Physical Chemistry fundamentals (CHIM/02 subject) with special
emphasis on the microscopic and molecular point of view

Completion of basic training provided by the General Chemistry and Inorganic Chemistry Icourseson the characteristics and properties of inorganic and coordination compoundsCompletion of the basic knowledge provided by the Inorganic Chemistry I course on the characteristics and properties of inorganic compounds, including those of the transition series. Acquisition of concepts and basic knowledge necessary for the modern description of the structure of molecules and coordination compounds including the experimental verification of the properties by means of photoemission spectroscopy.Achieve a basic understanding of the properties of block d elements and their more significant compounds.

Completion of the basic preparation
provided by the Organic Chemistry I course and training of the students with
the main laboratory techniques and execution of simple organic reactions

This course aims to give the
experimental and theoretical basis of the classic spectroscopies. Starting from the description of the
interaction of electromagnetic radiation with atoms, molecules, are
given as the general features of rotational, vibrational and electronic
spectroscopies. The laboratory mainly focus on the use of
spectrophotometers and on the
experimental data analysis, in order to obtain structural and spectroscopic
parameters for some molecules

The course provides
the theoretical bases of spectroscopic techniques and mass spectrometry and
makes students familiar with basic organic synthetic laboratory experiments



At the end of the course
students will learn how to apply spectroscopic data to the structural
identification of organic compounds

Provide the knowledge necessary for the understanding of the structures and functions of the living matter in molecular terms. Structures and functions of proteins, lipids, phospholipids and nucleic acids. Structure-function relationship of proteins.
Biological membranes and transport systems. The most important metabolic pathways of carbohydrates, lipids, fatty acids and amino acids: reaction mechanisms, mechanisms of regulation, production and conservation of energy.

- Learning of the problems related to the sampling and extraction techniques preliminary to liquid chromatography.
- Understanding of the fundamentals of the main instrumental techniques (chromatographic, spectrophotometric and electrochemical).
- Revision and improvement of the knowledge about the key parameters necessary for the validation of an analytical method.
After completing the course, organized in lectures followed by practical lab exercises, students will be able to:
- organize the development and validation of an analytical method for trace analysis in different types of real matrices, planning the extraction procedure, chromatographic separation and detection;
- carry on a quantitative analysis and statistical treatment of results.
- interpret UV-Vis and MS spectra.
