General and Inorganic Chemistry
1755-F12-CHON-J
General and Inorganic Chemistry provides essential knowledge and skills required for foundational studies in pharmacy. The course introduces students to the principles of chemical structure, properties, reactions, and analytical methods, emphasizing their applications in pharmaceutical sciences.
Lectures aim to familiarize student with the following issues: general chemistry and inorganic systematics, the structure and properties of particular groups of elements and compounds; theories of acids and basics, dissociation, hydrolysis, types of chemical bonds, redox reactions, nuclear reactions, orbital hybridisation; applications of radiopharmaceuticals, complexes, inorganic compounds and their significance in medicine and pharmacy, and their application as medical substances and excipients in drug dosage form technology
Laboratories:
to familiarize student with methods of cations and anions quality analysis, the identification of pharmacopeia salts and their pollution (contaminations)
