To introduce the basic phenomena, principles and laws of general, inorganic and organic chemistry, to the students of technical profession.

After completing the course and passing the exam, the student will be able to: Define and apply fundamental chemical principles that 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 the semester, students are required to attend lectures, laboratory and computing classes. After successfully realized examination prerequisites, students take the final exam in written (computing part) and oral form (theoretical part). Written part of the exam can be quarterly taken through the two colloquiums.
