Course objectives
The course on General and Inorganic Chemistry is targeted to students of biological sciences, and does consist of two major parts. The part on general chemistry examines basic principles underlying chemistry. Topics include electronic structure of atoms, chemical bonding theories, chemical reactions along with the energy changes, and the states of matter, i.e., gases, liquids and solids. The second part (Inorganic Chemistry) provides an introduction into systematic chemistry of elements including their origin, periodicity of their properties, and general features of metals and non-metals. The main block elements are thoroughly examined while transition elements are referred briefly. Important role of selected metals in living systems is emphasized.
