Basic in General Chemistry - Prof. Simona Fermani
We will recall the basic principles of chemical bonding starting from atomic orbitals to describe covalent, ionic and metallic bonds. Molecular orbital theory will be reviewed. Finally, main kinds of intermolecular interactions will be analyzed.
Basics in Analytical Chemistry - Prof. Daniele Fabbri
We will recall the terms and definitions in quantitative analytical chemistry, calculating and expressing an analytical result, building a calibration equation in instrumental analysis, types of errors and basic statistics of repeated measurements.
Basics in Organic Chemistry - Prof. Claudia Tomasini
We will present an overview of the functional groups of the organic molecules, with details in their structure, geometry and reactivity. The principal reactions of each functional group will be analyzed together with several examples of the behavior of real organic molecules.
Basics in Biochemistry – Prof. Valeria Righi
Pills of general biochemistry, the main macromolecules and their properties. Energy and living systems.
Overview of enzymes: classification and general properties of enzymes, cofactors and prosthetic groups.
The concept of applied biochemistry with reference to the cosmetic sector.
