Course content
1. Nitrogen - position in the periodic table, configuration and binding possibilities in molecule . Industry production and using of nitrogen. Compounds with hydrogen. Nonaqueous solvents. 2. Phosphorus - types of bonding in molecule P4 (Lewis's formula). Compounds with hydrogen. White and red phosphorus - catenation and reactivity of molecules. 3. N, P halides , oxides and oxoacids - comparison strengh of H3PO4, H3PO3 and H3PO2 on the basis Lewis formula. 4. Carbon - allotropic forms, types of bonding, catenation. Carbides, oxides, symmetry of molecules and vibration motions. 5. Diamond, graphite, fullerenes. Carbon compounds with halogens and environment. 6. Silicon - silicates and aluminosilicates compounds, structure and properties. Production of glas and silicon for semiconductor industry. Silanes and silicon halides. Quartz and other silicate minerals. Silica gel. 7. Boron - boranes, multicentre bond, pseudohalogens, boron oxides and oxoacids - utilization for capture of neutrons, borates. 8. General properties of metals, binding types and properties of solid substances. Structural basic types of crystal shape, crystal defects, nonstoichiometric compounds (Berthollide compounds), alloys. 9. Survey of metallurgical processes. Useful properties and classification of metals from chemical point of view. Principles production of iron, aluminium and copper. Metals refining. 10. Non-transition metals - horizontal, vertical and diagonal relationships, stability of oxidizing state, deviations from typical metallic behavior. Corrosion, rusting and anticorrosive protection. 11. Semiconductors, superconductivity. Major compounds "s" and "p" metals. 12. Transition metals - vertical and horizontal relationships, stability of oxidizing state. 13. Coordination compounds, bonding, isomerism, structure and properties as a consequence of relationship central atom - ligand, stability of complexes. Organometallics. 14. Inorganic chemistry in our living and environment - drugs and others subjects of daily using.

Learning activities and teaching methods

Learning outcomes
The aim of this course II is extending and deepening of inorganic chemistry knowledge especially in description of structure, properties and reactions of nonmetallic elements like nitrogen, phosphorus, carbon, silicon and boron. Graduates should be able for instance distinguished general properties of metals and non-metal elements. The metallic elements are explained together, according their general properties with respect to processing. The graduates should be able among others construct Lewis' structural formulas simple inorganic substances and deduce their physico-chemical characteristics.
Ability to comunicate with inorganic chemistry workplaces, to understand results; ability to transformate knowledge of inorganic chemistry to the school system; ability to apply knowledge in other chemical and related disciplines.
Prerequisites
