About this course
Learning outcome
- Inorganic chemistry is an experience-based subject where lectures, colloquia and laboratory exercises are central. The lectures are to form the foundation for a theoretical approach so that a thermodynamic viewpoint (to as large an extent as possible) is made the basis for an understanding of stability and reaction conditions. The colloquia (where the teacher is present) take selected examples as their point of departure, and give room for reflections and discussions. The laboratory exercises give practical grounding to the theory . Through experiments, calculation exercises and the writing of laboratory reports, the chemistry of the elements is linked with basic principles and theoretical knowledge of periodical variations of physical and chemical properties and a further understanding of the connections between composition, structure and properties. The deadline for submitting laboratory reports is one week after the exercise has been carried out.
- The students are free to make appointments for discussions with both the lecturer and the technical staff. The deadline for submitting laboratory reports is one week after the exercise has been carried out. An appointment to discuss improvements of the reports will be offered to every student individually, even reports that have been approved.
