Electron distribution in the atoms. Group trends, diagonal relationships in the periodic table. Chemistry of hydrogen. Noble gases. Representative elements of the s, p block - occurrence, preparation, use, physical and chemical properties, most important compounds. Chemistry of transition elements. Stabilisation of oxidation states by complex formation. Representative elements of d, f block and their chemical properties. Exercises: 1. Practising of the periodic table and the periodic law - Knowledge of PT and dependencies resulting from the periodic law 2. Repetition of nomenclature of complex compounds - repetition of formulas and names of coordination particles 3. Model of geometry of molecules and ions of transient elements - Electronic structural formulas and theories of VSEPR 4. Visualization of crystal structure - visualization program VESTA - information for fulfilling individual seminar work 5. Stoichiometry - Determination of empirical (stoichiometric) and molecular formula - Example of hydrates: calculation of crystal waters in hydrate from empirically measurable data 6. Solubility of substances and crystallization - Concentration of saturated solution, crystallization yield 7. Precipitation equilibria - Solubility product - Calculation of the solubility of pure substances and the amount of precipitate formed 8. Oxidation-reduction equilibria - Influence of pH on the properties of the redox system, oxidizing and reducing agents 9. Presentation of group seminar papers on the topic of special chemical reactions - explanation of the principles with emphasis on the explanation of oxidation-reduction processes and their consequences, or on another reaction mechanism, its kinetics or utilization of the reaction or the main starting material 5th - 6th week - 1st written exam Week 13 - 2nd written exam Week 14 - presentation of group work
