-to understand the structure and the basic properties of the atoms
- to interpret a simple diagram of phase
- to understand the phenomena of reactional equilibrium and the significance of the equilibrium constants
-to apply knowledge relating to chemical equilibrium and to the oxydoreduction reactions
- to understand and apply the bases of the chemical kinetics |
