Summary
Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit
General chemistry: Acquire basic concepts of atomic structure, chemical bonds, reaction kinetics, reaction thermodynamics and chemical equilibrium. Recognize the interdependence and interconnection of these concepts. To apply the acquired knowledge of general chemistry to the properties of individual elements.

Inorganic Chemistry: Acquire work with periodic table. Recognize the connection between the position of an element in a table and its binding options and other properties. To get an overview of occurrence, properties, preparation, production and utilization of selected elements and their important compounds.
Course Contents
1. Structure of atoms (atomic nucleus; nuclear reactions; quantum-mechanical model of the atom; electronic configuration).
2. Chemical bonding (types of bonds; hybridization and structure of molecules; intermolecular forces).
3. Group states of substances. Chemical reactions (reaction kinetics; reaction thermodynamics).
4. Chemical equilibrium (equilibrium constant; activity; influencing chemical equilibrium).
5. Equilibrium states in solutions (acid-base equilibria; redox equilibria).
6. Periodic table of substances (periodic law; type of elements). Binding possibilities of p-elements and s-elements.
7. Hydrogen (occurrence; properties; preparation and production; hydrides). Noble gases (occurrence; properties; preparation and production). Halogens (occurrence; properties; preparation and production; important compounds).
8. Chalcogens (occurrence; properties; preparation and production; important compounds).
9. Elements of 15. group (occurrence; properties; preparation and production; important compounds).
10. Elements of 14. group (occurrence; properties; preparation and production; important compounds).
11. Metals (general properties; metal production). Elements of 13. group (occurrence; properties; preparation and production; important compounds)
12. Alkali metals (occurrence; properties; preparation and production; important compounds). Elements of 2. group (occurrence; properties; preparation and production; important compounds).
13. Binding possibilities of d-elements. Selected d-elements (occurrence; properties; preparation and production; important compounds) - Part 1
14: Selected d-elements (occurrence; properties; preparation and production; important compounds) - part 2
