| Course description |
| Chemistry aims to reveal the natures and changes of substances. The natures depend on those of the constituent atoms while the changes stem from the arrangement and rearrangement of atoms. The combination of atoms affords various chemical bonds with the specific structures and properties of the substance. This course discusses such fundamentals of chemistry, taking various examples of inorganic simple substances and compounds. |
| Expected Learning |
| Learners who successfully complete this course will be able to understand the meaning of “orbital” and the necessity of the periodic law (Part 1), two ways of approaching covalent bonds (localized bonds approximation and delocalized molecular orbitals approximation) (Part 2), and several items proper to inorganic chemistry such as ionic solids, coordination compounds, and acids and bases (Part 3). |

| Message from instructor(s) |
|
Modern chemistry cannot be mastered by a memorization-only study; it has been constructed and systematized on the background of quantum theory. With this understanding, learners are expected to understand the fundamental concepts and principles indispensable not only for this course but for other courses in which the natures of individual chemical species are discussed. Depending on learners’ comprehension, explanation for certain items may be repeated; in that case the above mentioned schedule will be changed and some items will have to be omitted. |
