Annotation -
Anotation: The subject covers basic topics in general chemistry - atomic structure, periodicity of properties, chemical bond theory, stereochemistry of molecules and the basics of chemical equilibrium. These principles are applied in describing the reactivity and properties of basic groups of inorganic substances. The systematic part is presented as the chemistry of inorganic phases. The basic categories discussed are molecular gaseous and liquid substances, ions in aqueous solutions and their salts, coordination compounds, metals, solid oxides and other inorganic substances (carbides, nitrides, etc.).
