Objective

Part I:
You understand the structure of material beginning from the atom level.
You understanding the information given by the periodic system of elements and the chemical bonding.
You understanding the chemistry of states and the gas laws.
You can draw up a reaction equation, understand stoikiometry and can apply knowledge to acid-base and to combustion reactions.
You understand the mechanism of the redox-reactions and galvanic series and can apply your knowledge to the corrosion reactions of metals.

Part II:
You understand the chemical safety and warning signs.
You understand the chemistry of construction engineering, including reactions of the concrete.

Content
