Course description and aims

This course focuses on important trends in the properties of the elements and their compounds, and covers the fundamentals of atomic and molecular structure from the inorganic chemistry point of view. This represents a detailed discussion of properties of s-block elements, p-block elements, d-block elements, f-block elements, and their compounds.

Inorganic chemistry provides a way of comprehending properties of elements and their compounds, and forms a basis for preparing new materials. This course facilitates students' development of knowledge in elements and their compounds on a systematic basis.

Student learning outcomes

By the end of this course, students will be able to:
1) Explain structures and properties of main-group element compounds.
2) Explain structures and properties of d-block and f-block element compounds.
3) Explain structures, bonding, electronic states, and reactions of coordination compounds.

Keywords

s-block elements, p-block elements, d-block elements, f-block elements, coordination compounds

Competencies that will be developed

✔ Specialist skills Intercultural skills Communication skills Critical thinking skills Practical and/or problem-solving skills

Class flow

This course starts by explaining properties of hydrogen, main group elements, and their compounds, and then focuses on coordination chemistry.
