Sustainable Development Goals
Learning Goals
This curriculum unit is a discipline interconnected with the disciplines of Analytical Chemistry II, Physical
Chemistry II and Inorganic II. The overall objective of the curriculum unit is to instruct the student about
the execution of laboratory projects and analysis and resolution of questions with the aim of consolidating
knowledge acquired in those disciplines. On completion of this unit, a student should be able to
demonstrate the following skills: a) additional knowledge of solid state chemistry, synthesis and
characterization of inorganic solids; b) use proper instrumentation; c) solving problems; d) plan and carry
out experimental work in Analytical Chemistry, Inorganic Chemistry and Physical Chemistry; e) interpret
the results obtained experimentally in terms of its meaning and relate them to the theory; f) collect and
interpret critically relevant scientific information on the discussed subjects; g) ability to work
autonomously and within a team.

Contents
The components of the unit include: a) synthesis, reactivity and characterisation of ceramic materials; b)
construction and interpretation of models of inorganic solids; c) analysis and purification of complex
mixtures; d) problems in quantum mechanics (fundamentals, applications to atomic and molecular
structure), chemical kinetics and reaction mechanisms.

Teaching Methods
Teaching methods will be based essentially on laboratory lessons and supported in search on internet
sites and bibliography consultation. The assessment is based on continuous assessment of the
commitment and performance achieved by the students during the experimental work and focuses on the
following points: a) advance preparation of laboratory work, including bibliographic search; b)
performance of the student during class; c) elaboration of reports; d) final laboratory exam.
