Annotation -
In the course, students will use knowledge of General and Inorganic chemistry to assess and explain properties of technologically interesting materials. They apply their knowledge of electronegativity, of the atom size , of ions and molecules,of binding energy, of chemical structures from molecular to the crystalline. Based on their knowledge of basic models of chemical bonds (ionic, covalent and metallic) as well as the structure of materials (monocrystalline, polycrystalline, non-crystalline), they will meet the requirement to explain the properties of materials.
