Course
Inorganic Chemistry (KJE220)
The course gives a general understanding of the physical properties and chemical reactions of the elements and their most common compounds from Groups 1-2, 13-17 and the first row of the transition metals. This includes several bonding theories. There is also a compulsory but exciting lab course.
Dette er emnebeskrivelsen for studieåret 2021-2022. Merk at det kan komme endringer.

Content
The basic principles of atomic structure, the periodic system, the relationship between the atomic structure of the elements and their physical and chemical properties. The biological and environmental significance of each element. Descriptions of the chemistry to most of the elements will be discussed including the transition metals and a little organometallic chemistry. Inorganic production chemistry issues in the oil industry such as scaling, gas hydrates, corrosion and H2S. Industrial processes used in preparation and production of each element and its compounds. The course includes a laboratory course in basic inorganic experiments and qualitative inorganic analysis.
Learning outcome
After completing the course the student should:
- Have a basic knowledge of the various bonding theories
- Understand the interplay between thermodynamics and kinetics and reactions Have a basic knowledge of the physical and chemical properties of many of the elements in the periodic table
- Be able to carry out simple qualitative tests for inorganic cations and anions
- Be able to write a lab report of their experimental observations

Written exam counts 90% and the lab exam from test of unknown ions counts 10%. Both exam parts must be passed in order to get a pass grade in the course. In addition, the whole lab course must be completed.
No resit is offered for the 10% laboratory exam. If a student wishes to redo the lab, this can be done next time the subject is taught.
Vilkår for å gå opp til eksamen/vurdering
Mandatory laboratory written assignments and mandatory lab attendance
- Compulsory attendance at laboratory
- 10 mandatory assignments of laboratory assignments. Pass / fail.
Obligatory activities must be authorised to access the written exams.
