The course is intended as the improvement of the first year Chemistry course. Introducing just few new chemical concepts, more generally the course intends to deepen and extend the culture of chemistry as a experimental science.
The course is addressed to all third-year students who want to explore the themes developed with practical laboratory experiences, in particular students wishing to continue their studies with specialized courses in the field of chemistry and experimental sciences in general (e.g. Biomaterials and Chimica delle Tecnologie).
With this course, the student puts into practice the knowledge acquired related to the basic concepts of chemistry, making a significant laboratory experience
