Course aims

To present the chemistry of the elements in the main groups. Practical skills and experience of laboratory work will be obtained.

Brief description of the course

Dealing with the elements in conformity with the IUPAC system (groups 1-18) on the basis of filling electron subshells (s-, p-, d- and f-elements). Treatment of the elements within the bounds of the Periodic System (main groups): characterisation of groups, the individual elements, their chemical properties and compounds, technological aspects and utilisation, biological function, etc.
General requirements, safety requirements, equipment and methods for laboratory work.
Practical tasks: determination of atomic mass, the velocity and equilibrium of chemical reactions, determination of melting point and boiling point, determination of the entalphy of the neutralization reaction, solution chemistry, determination of molar concentration of the solution, formation of precipitation, electrochemistry etc.

Learning outcomes in the course

Upon completing the course the student:
- has knowledge of the main group chemical elements at the element group level;
- can distinguish elements within a group based on their chemical specificity;
- is able to use acquired knowledge in scientific research; - has knowledge and skills in laboratory work;
- can present the results of laboratory work in a clear and logical manner, discuss the results and draw conclusions based on them;
- is able to carry out practical work responsibly in accordance with safety requirements and research ethics.
