Learning activities and teaching methods
Lecture
Learning outcomes
The lecture is intended for students of the second and third year of the bachelor's study program in Chemistry, Bioinorganic Chemistry and Nanomaterial Chemistry. Follows the lectures Inorganic Chemistry 1 and 2 in order to deepen the knowledge of inorganic chemistry of d- and f-elements.
Describe chemistry of transition elements (d and f elements) and their inorganic and coordination compounds.
Prerequisites
The basic knowledge of inorganic and coordination chemistry.

Assessment methods and criteria
Written exam

Minimal successfulness in final written exam must be at least 60%.
