Introducing students of technical profession to the basic phenomena, principles and laws of chemistry.

Acquiring basic knowledge of general and inorganic chemistry and fundamental chemical principles which enable better understanding of a great number of processes and reaction phenomena in the field of disaster risks management.

Basic chemical laws. Structure of pure substances. Periodicity of the element properties in PT. Chemical bonds. Intermolecular bonds. Dispersed systems. Solutions. Types and characteristics of inorganic compounds. Toxicology of inorganic compounds. Oxidation reduction processes. Chemical kinetic. Catalysts. Chemical equilibrium. Combustion processes. Types and characterization of organic compounds. Toxicology of organic compounds. Coordination compounds. Elements of the main group of the periodic table, compounds and chemical reactions: hydrogen, IA and IIA group; IIIA and IVA group; VA and VIA group; VIIA group. Elements of the sub-groups: IB (Cu, Ag, Au), IIB (Zn, Cd, Hg), VIB (Cr, Mo, W) and VIIB (Mn) and elements of the Fe triad: Fe, Co, Ni. Types of harmful effects of the chemical substances. Direct effects of the toxic organic and inorganic compounds. Indirect effects of the toxic organic and inorganic compounds. Flammability and explosiveness of organic and inorganic compounds. Explosive atmosphere.

Lectures. Laboratory and Computing Practice. Consultations – individual and group. During semester students are required to attend lectures, laboratory and computing practice. After successfully realized examination prerequisites, students take the final exam in written form, which consists of computational and theoretical part. Computational part of the final exam can be quarterly taken through the two colloquiums.
