Course description and aims
Inorganic chemistry covers a wide variety of disciplines, dealing with all elements in the periodic table. The aim of this exercise class is to obtain better understanding on “Inorganic Chemistry 1” through exercise problems.
The course starts with behaviors of electrons in atoms, which determine properties of elements, then moving on atomic parameters, changeable periodically, such as ionization energy, electron affinity, and electronegativity. In the molecular bonding theory section, the instructor tells you how to describe covalent molecules based on valence bond theory and VSEPR rule. Besides the basics of molecular orbital theory is introduced as a means of describing covalent molecules by referencing a simple diatomic molecule. The inorganic solids’ section includes the structures of ionic solids and metals, band theory, and the related thermodynamics. In the section of acid and base, the lecture begins with the definition of acid and base, and deals with factors governing acid strength by focusing on electronic configuration and molecular orbitals.
Student learning outcomes
At the end of this course, students will be able to:
(1) explain/understand properties of elements and ions, based on the periodic table of the elements.
(2) explain reactivity of chemical species and stability of compounds.
(3) explain chemical bonds that consist of various materials.
trough exercise problems.
