Inorganic chemistry-CHEM-5102 (Cr. 3+1=4)

INTRODUCTION & LEARNING OUTCOMES:

This course covers a range of general topics of inorganic chemistry, the methods of presentation and assessment of which vary according to the components selected (coursework or practical). It will provide a useful supplement to the advanced courses specified in the department. This course aims to enable the students to achieve advance knowledge about the following topics:

  • Periodic Table and Periodicity of properties
  • Acid – Base equilibira
  • Chemical bonding
  • Chemistry of p-block elements
  • Chemistry of d-block elements
  • Separation techniques
  • Introduction to analytical techniques in inorganic chemistry
  • Chemical industries

The objectives of the course are to educate the students about the course topic as well as to concentrate on

Attitude
Develop an attitude of creativity, as demonstrated by students possessing a strong sense of curiosity, asking questions actively, challenging assumptions or engaging in inquiry together with teachers.
Ability
Develop the ability/skill needed to discover/innovate/create, as demonstrated by students possessing
critical thinking skills to assess ideas, acquiring research skills, synthesizing knowledge across disciplines
or applying academic knowledge to self-life problems and the application of chemistry in daily life.
