learning outcomes
Knowledge
Students will be educated in nature, types, and properties of bonding in different inorganic materials in detail. These modern inorganic materials are described using structure - properties relationship. To explain the chemical bond theory and to determine a bond type To indicate polarity centres in the molecule and to access the polarizability of bonds in focus To characterize basic types of bonds using the quantum-chemical description To describe the structure, properties, and reactivity of basic metals, nonmetals, and metaloids To explain the structure and properties of basic inorganic materials
Skills
To determine different types of chemical bond in practice To predict properties of basic inorganic materials using their bonding references To describe and analyze smart materials on basis of their structure To describe modern materials with controlled porosity and strategy/tactics of their synthesis To evaluate data obtained during basic identification of inorganic materials by instrumental methods and to determin the structure of studied materials
