| Outline and Purpose of the Course | These lectures will introduce students to the fundamentals of inorganic chemistry. Atoms, molecules and solids surround us and this lecture will aim at providing students with the tools to better understand their structures, energetics and properties. This course is designed for both Japanese and International students. | |||
| Course Goals | (1) To understand the basic structure of atoms as a function of their position in the periodic table. (2)To be able to draw simple molecular structures and orbital diagrams to understand their properties and reactivity. (3) To be able to visualize and comprehend the basic crystal structures of solids and their related stability and properties. | |||
| Schedule and Contents |
The course will cover the following topics, and each of them is read in 1 or 2 weeks (1) The structure of hydrogen (2) The structure of many-electron atoms (3) Lewis structures (4) Valence bond theory (5) Molecular orbital theory (6) Bond properties (7) The structure of solids and packing of spheres (8) The structure of metals, alloys and intermetallic compounds (9) Ionic bonding and ionic solids (10) Electronic structures and properties of inorganic solids Total 14 classes and 1 Feedback |
