Course Objectives
The goal is to understand the structure and properties of various inorganic compounds (metals, ionic compounds, and metal complexes) and to solve exercises. To achieve this goal, the following elements will be accomplished.
The student should be able to understand the periodicity of the elements and be able to understand the structure of the nucleus and the state of the outer electrons of the nucleus. Students should be able to understand the electron configuration of atoms. Students should be able to understand molecular orbitals as they relate to chemical bonding.

Assigned Department Objectives
Teaching Method
Outline:
This course is designed to prepare students for university transfer examinations and to enable them to solve inorganic chemistry exercises at the first and second year university level.
This course focuses on the content of "Inorganic Chemistry 1" taken in the third year and "Inorganic Chemistry 2" taken in the fourth year, as well as exercises in the areas frequently used in transfer examinations.
This course is a lecture-style course on inorganic chemistry taught by faculty members who were in charge of research and development of inorganic materials such as electrode materials at companies, making use of their experience.
Style:
After lectures on each unit, problems will be explained.
A self-study assignment will be given each week. The assignments will consist of similar problems from that week, as well as confirmation of the basic points covered in preparation for the next week's lesson.
Notice:
Students should review "Inorganic Chemistry 1" taken in the third year and "Inorganic Chemistry 2" taken in the fourth year.
