Academic year:

2019/2020.

Attendance requirements:

There are no requirements.

ECTS:

3

Study level:

basic academic studies

Study program:

Biochemistry: 1. year, summer semester, compulsory course

Teacher:

Vesna B. Medakoviæ, Ph.D.
assistant professor, Faculty of Chemistry, Studentski trg 12-16, Beograd

Assistant:

Jelena P. Blagojeviæ Filipoviæ, Ph.D.
senior research associate, Innovation center, Studentski trg 12-16, Beograd

Hours of instruction:

Weekly: three hours of labwork (0+0+3)

Goals:

The goal of this course is to help students master the experimental techniques used in inorganic chemistry. In the first part of the course, students are introduced to physical and chemical properties of elements (of the selected groups of the periodic table of elements) and their compounds through selected experiments. In the second part of the course, through independent experimental work students are introduced to the synthesis, characterization and physical and chemical properties of coordination compounds. The syllabus of experimental laboratory work corresponds to the syllabus of Inorganic Chemistry (102B1).

Outcome:

Mastering the fundamentals of experimental work in inorganic chemistry, distinguishing between the properties of elements and their compounds based on the experimental results, acquiring skills necessary for independent laboratory work and applying various instrumental techniques in the characterization of coordination compounds.

Teaching methods:

Experimental exercises.
