Annotation

The course General and Physical Chemistry III (b) is intended for students of teaching branches in combination with chemistry or single-subject chemistry. It focuses on the subject of general chemistry discussed at the secondary schools and expands it with basic theoretical principles and their experimental and theoretical rationale. It also tries to respond to possible misconceptions existing in the teaching of some topics of general and physical chemistry and to suggest some possible didactic approaches to their solution (however, this does not replace the subject Didactics of general chemistry).

The course takes place in person, in case of impossibility to attend the faculty or the impossibility of full-time teaching, the course will take place in the online environment ZOOM.

It is necessary to log in to the ZOOM platform with a faculty/university e-mail and a faculty/university login!
