KEMA214 Inorganic Chemistry 1 (4 cr)
Study level:
Intermediate studies
Grading scale:
0-5
Language:
Finnish
Responsible organisation:
Department of Chemistry
Curriculum periods:
2020-2021
Description
Content
The course focusses on:
- fundamentals of molecular symmetry,
- theories of covalent bonding (valence bond theory and molecular orbital theory), and
- basics of main group (groups 1, 2 and 13-18) 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 able to determine molecular symmetry (point group) from its structure,
- knows how molecular symmetry is applied in chemistry and description of covalent bonding in particular,
- is familiar with fundamental theories of covalent bonding,
- is able to describe covalent bonding in molecules using qualitative valence bond theory and molecular orbital theory, and
- acquires an overview of main group chemistry (common compounds, their synthesis and uses).
