Content, progress and pedagogy of the module

Students who complete the module: will have gained skills in inorganic chem-istry, have developed knowledge in deducing and applying chemical reaction principles to real problems.

Learning objectives

Knowledge

• Must have knowledge about general chemistry and chemical principals
• Must be able to understand chemical equations and equilibria
• Must be able to use and apply the information of the periodic system of elements towards problems
• Must be able to deduce chemical properties by using the periodic system of elements
• Must be able to solve chemical reactions and equilibria with the help of the periodic system and deduce the properties of the resulting compounds

Skills
