Description of Course (Norrotive
-
exponsion of cotolog descriptior)
Prerequisite: one yeor of.high school chemistry.
Principles ond theories of inorgonic chemistry. Moleculor, otomic, nucleor ond electronic
theories of motter reloted to periodic toble; oxidotion - reduction orrd ion exchonge;
theories of solufion.
lll.
Generol Ob ectives
f not specificolly identi fioble--outline the generol thrust)
It is expected thot students willdevelop the following obilities:
A.
To predict the chemicol properties of elernents of the irincipol groups of the
Periodic Toble from fhe electronic properties of their otoms.
B.
To solve problems deoling with stoichiometric relotionships ir chemicql
reoctions including boloncing of both ionic ond moleculor or:idotion -reductions
types .
C.
To exploin the properties of the three sfotes of motter ond th,: chonges from one
stote to onother in terms of the moleculor theory.
D.
To predict the behovior of solutions from the noture ond concentrotion of their
componenB.
E.
To exploin the principles of fhermochemistry ond their opplicotion to energy
conversion processes.
F.
G.
To solve problems
deoling with equilibrium of goses.
To show skill in loborotory technigues os demonstroted by obtoining occurote
results in quontitoiive inorgonic experiments.
