Inorganic Chemistry I

The course aims to provide an understanding of the basic principles of Inorganic Chemistry that are essential for the theoretical and laboratory training of students. After successfully completing the course, the student is expected to:

• Understand the different physical and chemical behavior of the elements depending on their position in the Periodic Table.
• Recognize the distinct behavior of the first- and second-period elements compared to elements of the subsequent periods.
• Explain and describe physicochemical properties based on molecular interactions and bonding.
• Understand and interpret the reaction mechanisms of various inorganic compounds.
• Understand the laboratory and industrial methods for producing main-group elements and their compounds.
• Understand the processes and methods involved in converting raw materials into useful industrial products.
• Understand the properties of metals, corrosion, and methods for corrosion protection.
• Solve problems related to the basic principles of Inorganic Chemistry, including the prediction of new compounds and products with potential technological interest.
