| •Course Purpose |
| The purpose of this two semester course consisting of Chemistry of Inorganic Materials I & II is to understand the chemical and physical properties of various inorganic materials, their functions, their analysis and their applications.
At the end of the two-part course, students will have gained knowledge of solid-state chemistry enabling them to understand structures, synthesis and analysis of inorganic solid materials. |
| •Prerequisite Subjects |
| Fundamentals of Chemistry I and II, Analytical Chemistry, Inorganic Chemistry I |
| •Course Topics |
| The course Chemistry of Inorganic Materials I will be structured as follows:
Class 1: Introduction, unit cells & crystal systems Class 2: Symmetry & choice of the unit cell Class 3: Lattice planes & directions Class 4: Important structures, Pauling rules Class 5: Important structures (Part II) Class 6: Perovskites, Introduction to defects Intermediate exam Class 7: Solid solutions, extended defects Class 8: Dislocations & mechanical properties Class 9: Bonding in solids Class 10: Metallic bonding Class 11: Synthesis & reactions (Part I) Class 12: Synthesis & reactions (Part II) Class 13: Phase diagrams & interpretation (Part I) Final exam (comprehensive) Depending on the situation a shift of topics between classes might happen |

| •Grade Assessment |
| "Grading will follow the rules for G30 students who have entered NU before AY2020 (5 letter system) or since AY2020 (6 letter system):
maximum TOTAL 100% (= 100 pts) Homework submission: 10% (= 10 points) Presentation: 10% (=10 points) Intermediate exam: 30% (= 30 pts) Final exam (comprehensive): 50% (= 50 pts) The presentation and both exams are mandatory Grades are final and calculated on the basis of the performances during class (homework submission) and in the two exams only. There will be no possibility to improve a grade after the final exam. Students who miss the final exam due to a (documented) illness, injury or other unavoidable reasons can ask the instructor." The course will be graded "F" (failed) if less than 60% of the total points were obtained. The course will be graded as "absent" ("A" or "W") if withdrawal was applied before the intermediate exam, as stated in "course withdrawal" |
