Summary

Introduction to the chemistry of the s & p elements of the periodic table.

Content

The course will be a "walk" through the periodic table with focus on the main group elements. This includes a brief history of the respective element, a description of the most important compounds (syntheses, structures, physical properties and reactivities) and a discussion of trends within the different groups.

Learning Outcomes

By the end of the course, the student must be able to:

Recall general trends in the periodic table of elements.
Recall methods for the synthesis of the s & p block elements.
Recall the structures, the properties, applications, and the chemical reactivity of the s & p block elements.
Differentiate the different allotropes of the s & p block elements.
Derive the structure of compounds of the s & p block elements.
Derive equations for reactions of compounds of the s & p block elements.
Recall relevant oxidation states for the s & p block elements.
