General Chemistry 1100-1BB02
The lectures of general chemistry are concerned mainly with the structure and properties of inorganic chemical molecules, methods of their identifications and the major type of reactions.
Program:
1. Structure of atoms, periodic table
2. Structure of chemical molecules (orbitals, chemical bonds)
3. States of the matter (ideal and real systems)
4. Properties of electrolyte and non-electrolyte solutions
5. Reaction types in aqueous solutions (acid-base, redox, complex
formation and precipitation equilibria)
6. Characteristic of metallic compounds
7. Chemistry of non-metallic compounds
8. Chemical and electrochemical methods in analysis of
inorganic compounds
9. Environmental chemistry
