Course Objective and Content

Course Objectives: The primary aims of the course are to provide students with a perspective on the role of inorganic compounds in chemical events that occur in materials science, biological systems, and cosmic objects by explaining the principles on which inorganic chemistry is based on, and to place seeds that would stimulate their scientific curiosity.
Course Content: Explanations on the structures of atoms and molecules, molecular symmetry and symmetry elements, chemical bonds and bonding theories, lattice structures and lattice energies of solids, acids and bases, introduction to coordination compounds, reduction and oxidation reactions, introduction to non-aqueous chemistry.

Learning Outcomes

The students who have succeeded in this course;
1) Can define the structures of atoms and molecules in detail.
2) Can interpret the chemical bonds and symmetry elements to explain molecular structures.
3) Can construct molecular orbital diagrams for polyatomic elements and compounds.
4) Can interpret reactions by using the acid-base theories and reduction-oxidation events.
5) Can construct ideas about the interactions and properties of materials by evaluating the chemical structures of particles.
