This course explains basic laws of inorganic chemistry and let students to grasp systematic understanding of inorganic chemistry.
The course will ask students to realize that chemical properties of elements are related to their atomic structures, and those
are systematically summarized in a periodic table. The course also will ask students to obtain ability to theoretically consider
fundamental chemical properties that forms a basis to understand complicated chemical phenomena.
The course aims to provide fundamental laws of inorganic chemistry in a systematic way. The primary focus of the course will
be on relationship between atomic and molecular structures and chemical properties. In addition, the course will focus on
formation of hybridized orbitals in molecular bonds in order to give students ability to predict molecular structures.
- Learning fundamental laws of inorganic chemistry in a systematic way. Obtaining fundamental knowledge and theoretical consideration ability of atomic and molecular structures and chemical properties.
- Obtaining ability to predict molecular structures.
- Understanding concepts of hybridized orbitals.
