Study level:
Basic studies
Grading scale:
0-5
Language:
Finnish
Responsible organisation:
Department of Chemistry
Curriculum periods:
2017-2018, 2018-2019, 2019-2020
Description
Content
The course focuses on:
- atomic structure,
- periodic table and its recurring trends,
- basics of chemical bonding,
- ionic bonding and ionic compounds,
- metallic bonding and metals,
- structures of simple solids,
- acids and bases,
- oxidation states and redox reactions,
- fundamentals of coordination chemistry,
- naming of inorganic compounds, and
- physical techniques in (inorganic) chemistry.
Completion methods
Self-study and final exam (the course is lectured in Finnish).
Assessment details
Final exam with a maximum of 36 points. Lowest passed grade (1/5) requires 50% of the points.
Learning outcomes
After successfully completing the course, the student:
- is familiar with the structure of the periodic table and its recurring trends,
- remembers the basic terminology used by inorganic chemists,
- understands the classification of chemical bonding to three main types,
- is able to describe the structures of simple solids,
- is familiar with different classifications of acids and bases,
- knows how to apply oxidation states to describe redox reactions,
- is familiar with basic concepts of coordination chemistry,
- knows how to name simple inorganic compounds according to IUPAC rules, and
- acquires an overview of physical techniques in (inorganic) chemistry and knows the basics of how they are applied in research.
