They have not been established, although it is convenient to have passed the course CHEMISTRY, in the first year, and to take, at the same time, the course Inorganic Chemistry I, in the second year. It is advisable that the student be familiar with the theories of chemical bonding, acid-base, redox and formulation in Inorganic Chemistry.
The course is located in the second semester of the second year of the Degree in Chemistry and belongs to the Fundamentals of Chemistry Module (Inorganic Chemistry matter). Its character is obligatory. The student will learn the structure, the reactivity and the preparation ( from laboratory and industrial) of the elements and the inorganic compounds of the transition and f-blockmetals of the periodic table. This knowledge is essential to understand the properties and practical applications of these substances and their impact on current applied chemistry. The acquisition of this knowledge is important for studying the course Inorganic Compounds (3rd course), as well as other related courses in higher education.
