Inorganic materials, such as metals, catalysts, semiconductors, and ceramics, are essential to our modern society. A wide
variety in properties of these materials has been achieved by the combination of the various elements listed in the periodic
table, and eventually is explained by the nature of the elements. In this course, you will learn each elements from the electron
configuration and understand the properties of the elements and typical compounds.
This course will help you to understand the characteristics and properties of the elements, which are appeared in the periodic
table. You also learn the specific reaction and related compounds, for the purpose of better understanding of the various
elements.
- Students will be able to predict the properties of major elements from their electronic structures.
- Students will be able to acquire the knowledge about the nature and characteristics of the elements and related compounds.
- Students will be able to estimate the physical and chemical properties of compounds on the basis of electron configuration and chemical structure of elements.
