Lectures:
1. Properties of metals. Production of metals – electrolysis, reduction, replacement, thermal decomposition, leaching.
2. Hydrogen. Oxygen, acid-base properties of oxides. Water, water hardness. Air.
3. General properties of the elements of particular groups. Binding properties, occurrence, preparation, production, reactions and the most important compounds of the selected elements.
3.1 s1 elements – alkali metals.
3.2 s2 elements – magnesium, alkaline earths metals.
