Syllabus approved:
Number of credits: 15 ECTS
Subject: Chemistry
Education cycle: Third (postgraduate)
Grading scale: Passed / Failed
Prerequisites: Master degree in Chemistry or Materials Science.
Time: HT 2021, 50 %, Daytime
Course objectives
After completing the course the student shall be able to
• Discuss principal models for the electronic structure and bonding of atoms, molecules and bulk solids.
• Discuss and argue for application of different characterization methods for revealing the structure and bonding.
• Discuss principal approaches to, fundamental features of structure and chemistry, and applications of elements in the groups of Periodic Table and their most important compounds.

Content
The course will provide insights into most important theoretical principles in understanding the structure and reactivity of inorganic compounds. It will be organized as a series of workshops, where the students will discuss bonding models, spectroscopic characterization, and, most importantly, chemical properties of the elements through the whole Periodic Table.
