Course Overview

The "Inorganic Chemistry" course explores in depth the chemical elements and their compounds, focusing on their physicochemical properties, their methods of preparation, and their applications. The chapters cover a diverse range of elements, including hydrogen, oxygen, sulfur, halogens, nitrogen, phosphorus, arsenic, antimony, carbon, silicon, and metals. Each chapter examines the natural state of the elements, their properties, their preparation, their chemical reactions, and their applications in various fields. Specific topics such as chemical bonding, complex compounds, oxides, and oxy-acids are also addressed. This course aims to provide students with an in-depth understanding of chemical elements and their roles in various chemical processes and industrial applications.

Content

The Mineral Chemistry course covers a wide range of topics, from the periodic table to coordination complexes.

In the first chapter, we explore the periodic table in detail, examining the elements that compose it, their organization into periods and groups, as well as the periodicity of their properties. We also study the different types of chemical bonds, including covalent, ionic, metallic, as well as other types of bonds such as Van der Waals and hydrogen bonds. Furthermore, we address advanced concepts such as the energy diagram of molecular orbitals, hybridization, and bond polarization.

The second to eighth chapters of the Mineral chemistry course explore various aspects of chemical elements and their compounds. We start with hydrogen and its compounds in the second chapter, then move on to oxygen, sulfur, and halogens in the following chapters. Next, we examine nitrogen, phosphorus, arsenic, and antimony, before studying the unspecified elements in the sixth chapter. The seventh chapter focuses on carbon and silicon, while the eighth addresses metals, including alkali, alkaline-earth, and transition metals, as well as their respective properties and uses. These chapters provide a comprehensive overview of the physicochemical properties, methods of preparation, and applications of chemical elements and their compounds in various fields of inorganic chemistry.

Finally, in the ninth chapter, we address complexes, introducing the concepts of ligands and complexing agents, nomenclature, chemical bonding, structures and properties of coordination complexes, as well as the crystal field theory.
