Learning activities and teaching methods
Monologic (reading, lecture, briefing), Dialogic (discussion, interview, brainstorming), Work with text (with textbook, with book), Activating (simulations, games, drama)
  • Preparation for exam - 14 hours per semester
  • Preparation for credit - 14 hours per semester
  • Class attendance - 56 hours per semester
Learning outcomes
Course lectures of "Inorganic chemistry 2" will be focused on systematic inorganic chemistry, which will be characterized by intransitive elements in groups in terms of their physico-chemical properties, occurrence, production and use. Furthermore, the biological importance of elements and their most important compounds will be discussed. The lectures in the second part of the course will include chemistry of transient elements, lanthanoids and actinoids. At the end, theoretical instruments of structural chemistry and new trends in the chemistry field will be discussed. Emphasis will be placed on the overall understanding and ability to use knowledge in practice.
Course graduates will extend the knowledge of general and inorganic chemistry they will need in further studies at universities.
Prerequisites
Minimal requirement for students is basic knowledge of chemistry and biochemistry at the level of secondary school.

Assessment methods and criteria
Student performance assessment, Combined exam

The requirement for successful completion of the course is the active participation of students in seminars. The final exam will take the form of a written test and/or a subsequent oral interview with the final evaluation in the form of awarding the mark.
