Imparting basic contexts and concepts in inorganic chemistry. The student shall be enabled to apply the obtained knowledge to deduce simple structures, reactions and propterties of inorganic compounds independently.
General properties, modifications, synthesis, use and chemistry of the non-metals and metals in elemental form. Structures (VSEPR model), bonding, synthesis and properties of hydrogen compounds, oxides, oxo acids and halides of the non-metals for simple, selected examples. Natural cycles of the elements; environmental aspects of ozone, CO2, NOx Chemistry of the transition metals in aqueous solution; introduction in the chemistry of metal complexes (formation and stability of metal complexes, introduction to ligand field theory, complex geometries and isomerism, ligand types). All subjects will be supported by demonstration experiments.
