Abstract

Chemistry of the elements in 13 parts:1) periodical properties2) main group metals3) main group metaloids4) non metals5) deposits and preparations6) reactivity7) ion lattices8) element hydrogen compounds9) VSEPR-model10) halogen compounds11) oxygen compounds12) MO diagrams13) redox chemistry

Objective

Understanding of the fundamental principles of the structures, properties, and reactivities of the main group elements (groups 1,2 and 13 to 18).

Content

The course is devided in 14 sections in which the fundamental phenomena of the chemistry of the main group elements is discussed:Part 1: Introduction in the periodical properties of the elements and general definitions. – Part 2: The VSEPR model – Part 3: Qualitative molecular orbital diagrams for simple inorganic molecules – Part 4: Closest packings and structures of metals. – Part 5: The Structures of semimetals (metaloids) of the main group elements – Part 6: Structures of the non-metals– Part 7: Synthesis of the elements. – Part 8: Reactivity of the elements. – Part 9: Ionic Compounds. – Part 10: Ions in Solution. – Part 11: Element hydrogen compounds. – Part 12: Element halogen compounds. – Part 13 Element oxygen compounds. – Part 14: Redox chemistry.
