Academic year:

2024/2025.

Attendance requirements:

There are no requirements.

ECTS:

3

Study level:

Study program:

Teacher:

Ilija D. Brčeski, Ph.D.
full professor, Faculty of Chemistry, Studentski trg 12-16, Beograd

Assistant:

Milica J. Savić
junior research assistant, Institute of Chemistry, Technology and Metallurgy, Njegoševa 12, Beograd

Hours of instruction:

Weekly: four hours of labwork (0+0+4)

Goals:

The goal of this course is to help students master the experimental techniques used in inorganic chemistry. Through selected experiments students are introduced to the physical and chemical properties of elements (of the selected groups of the Periodic Table of Elements) and their compounds. The syllabus of the experimental classes matches the syllabus of the lectures held within the course Inorganic Chemistry (101S1). In order to prepare students for independent laboratory work, they synthesize two inorganic preparations on their own and learn about the selected methods used for the characterization of inorganic substances in the final sessions of the course. Students are also introduced to the fundamentals of bioinorganic chemistry within the last experimental class.

Outcome:

Mastering the fundamentals of experimental work in inorganic chemistry, the ability to recognize the properties of elements and their compounds based on the results of an experiment and to perform laboratory work on one’s own. Students have acquired sufficient fundamental knowledge which enables them to understand the subsequent courses during their further studies.

Teaching methods:

Experimental work.
