Learning outcomes
|
The goal of the course is to deepen students' knowledge in the field of inorganic chemistry with an emphasis on its applications in modern industrial and other technologies. The aim is to describe and explain the relationship between the structure, properties, and function of inorganic materials.
The acquired competencies include knowledge of the principles and applications of modern technologies primarily based on inorganic materials.
