Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit
Assumption of basic conceptions of atom construction, chemical bonds, reaction kinetic and thermodynamic. Learning of interrelationship and connection of these conceptions - periodicity of element properties.
Application of knowledge from basic chemistry of element system. Learn working with periodic table - be able deduce basic chemical and physical properties of elements.
Course Contents
The introduction to general chemisty (properties and composition of matter, classification of compouds). Structure of atom (atomic nuclei, nuclear reactions, electron shell). The chemical bond (forms of bond, intermolecular forces, hybridization). Latent states. The introduction to chemical reactions (classification, thermochemistry, chemical kinetics, ch. equilibrium). Acid-base reactions (electrolytic dissociation, acid-base theory, pH). Oxidation-reduction reactions (oxidizing-reducing agents, standard electrode potencial, elctromotive series). The elements of electrochemistry (galvanic cells, electrolysis). The periodic table of elements (trends, periodicity in the properties of the elements).
The introduction to inorganic chemisty (bonding possibilities, occurrence, physical and chemical properties, industrial production, application and important compounds). Basic elements and its compounds (hydrogen, oxygen, water, air). Nonmetallic p-elements. The metals (general properties, production and purification, iron and steel working, aloys). Metallic s, p-elements. Metallic d, f-elements. Technically important materials (glass, ceramics, ovenwares, inorganic binders). Processing and utilization of coal, crude oil and natural gas. The industrial gases.
