Inorganic chemistry (special course)

ĶNF 291

Assistant Prof. Modris Drille

Course description: 6 Credit units; 96 hours (32 lectures, 64 laboratories)

Control forms: Exam
Course content:

• 
  The themes of lectures are: review of elements and physical and chemical properties of their inorganic compounds, begin from I A group. For each element’s group are prepared review of widely known and less unknown compounds, including their synthesis in laboratory or obtaining condition in factories. During laboratory work provided synthesis of five chemical compounds using literature finding synthesis descriptions. Necessary to obtain lecturer’s agreement about possibility to carry out synthesis. Crystals collection which obtain as a result of laboratory works will be place for review.
