The course aims to provide students with the tools necessary to frame in a logical and sequential
way, not merely descriptive, the main chemical and physico-chemical phenomena related to the
microscopic and macroscopic behavior of matter.

the course includes the illustration of the fundamental concepts of chemistry. On some of them numerical applications will be proposedAttendance
attendance at the course is not mandatory but usefulType of evaluation
test in presence consisting of open questions, both theory and numerical exercises
