Knowledge
Students are expected to acquire:
a good knowledge of the periodic table;
a good knowledge of the properties of the elements;
ability to discuss the basic chemistry of the s and p block;
knowledge of the elemental basis of the coordination chemistry.
The way of the laboratory experiences, students will acquire competence in synthesis and reactivity of simple inorganic and coordination compounds.
Assessment criteria of knowledge
The assessment will allow for the correct solutions of the written exam problems and for the correct answers to the questions in the course of the oral exam. In the written exam students must demonstrate their knowledge of the course material and their ability to arrange well coordinate written answers. During the oral exam students will be assessed about their ability in discussing with propriety of expression the main topics presented during the course. Moreover, in the course of the oral exam, students must be able to discuss the experiences carried out in the practical lab.Methods:
- Final oral exam
- Final written exam
- Laboratory report
Further information:
The student will be evaluated on the basis of its final written (usually 2 hours, 4 questions) and oral exams. The mandatory written laboratory report will be evaluated.
Teaching methods
Delivery: face to face
Learning activities:
- attending lectures
- individual study
- Laboratory work
Attendance: Mandatory

Syllabus
The course, addressed to students which are attending in parallel the course of General Chemistry, provides notions on the main properties of the elements on the basis of their electronic configuration. The chemistry of the s and p block elements will be discussed with special attention to the inorganic compounds of industrial relevance.
An introduction to the field of coordination compounds will be presented with examples concerning the chemistry of transition elements.
The Laboratory course will introduce the students to the synthesis, characterization and reactivity of simple inorganic and coordination compounds.
