| •Course Purpose |
| Inorganic chemistry I is the first part of a three-semester course in inorganic chemistry consisting of parts I, II, and III. Aim of the three-semester course is to present principles and fundamentals of inorganic chemistry, to introduce chemical reactions and to show examples of the role of inorganic chemistry in the industry, environment and every day lives.
At the end of the complete course (Inorganic Chemistry I, II, III), students should have learned a robust foundation in physical inorganic principles and also applications of the subject to catalysis and industrial processes. |
| •Prerequisite Subjects |
| Fundamentals of Chemistry I and II, (Laboratory in Chemistry), Analytical Chemistry |
| •Course Topics |
| The course Inorganic Chemistry I will be structured as follows:
Class 1: Introduction to Inorganic Chemistry & Structure of the atom Class 2: Buil-up principle & Introduction to bonding models Class 3: Octet rule, electronegativity & dipole moments Class 4: Introduction to MO theory and VSEPR Class 5: Introduction to molecular symmetry Class 6: Point groups & character tables Intermediate exam Class 7: Introduction to vibrational spectroscopy Class 8: Chirality ans chiral molecules Class 9: Introduction to bonding in polyatomic molecules & ligand group orbitals (LGO) Class 10: MO apllied to polyatomic molecules Class 12: Aqueous solutions, oxoacids & aquated cations Class 13: Introduction to experimental techniques 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) Intermediate exam: 40% (= 40 pts) Final exam (comprehensive): 50% (= 50 pts) The intermediate and final exam 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" |
| •Notes |
| Face-to-Face class and if required remote class (MS-Teams, recorded) combined. |
| •Contacting Faculty |
| Students can ask questions during class or after class, ask by email or make an appointment with the instructor
