Historically, the study of Chemistry has been divided in large areas of knowledge which included Inorganic Chemistry among them. This discipline includes experimental investigation and theoretical interpretation of the properties and reactivity of all elements of the periodic table as well as the compounds derived from them. Therefore, two of the most characteristic features of Inorganic Chemistry are in first place, the great diversity of contents and second, its interdisciplinary nature. The significance of Inorganic Chemistry goes beyond of purely academic boundaries. Thus, in our daily lives, we can find a great variety of inorganic products which are commonly used. It can be remarked the significant implications in industrial and technological processes which contribute decisively to the development of society. In the curriculum of the Degree in Chemistry of the UDC and according to academic organization criteria, Inorganic Chemistry is scheduled in the second year of the Degree and planned in two theoretical-practical courses: Inorganic Chemistry 1 and Inorganic Chemistry 2. Inorganic Chemistry 2 focuses on the systematic study and synthesis of the elements of groups 13 and 14 and the metallic elements, as well as the study of the synthesis and properties of the compounds derived from these elements. From an academic point of view, this course settles the basis for the advanced Inorganic Chemistry courses and for the majority of other areas of knowledge.
