NKEK13010U Inorganic Chemistry
Descriptive inorganic chemistry encompassing the entire periodic table. Models for electronic structure, molecular structure and reactivity of coordination compounds.
Competences:
Communication of descriptive inorganic chemistry and important
models applied to inorganic chemistry in writing as well
as orally. The ability to read, analyze and judge forefront
literature in inorganic and coordination chemistry.
Skills:
- being able to account for the natural occurence of the elements.
- being able to account for the main technical applications of the
elements.
- being able to account for the chemistry of Lanthanoids and
Actinoids at a general level.
- being able to describe and rationalize the most important
periodic variations in the chemical and physical properties of the
elements and their compounds.
- being able to apply the most common models applied to descriptive
inorganic chemistry
- being able to account for the interplay between molecular and
electronic structure for inorganic compounds.
- being able to account for important mechanistic aspects of
inorganic reactivity.
-being able to account for the most important magnetic interactions
and prioperties of inorganic compounds.
-being able to account for the most important experimental
techniques applied in the characterization of inoprganic
compunds
Knowledge:
an in depth knowledge of the chemistry of the main group and
transition elements and a general knowledge about the chemistry of
the f-block elements.
An operational knowledge of important models for molecular and
electronic structure as well as for reactivity of coordination
compounds.
