Historically, the study of Chemistry has been divided in large areas of knowledge so being the Inorganic Chemistry one of 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 resulting from all of them. Therefore, we can say that two of the most characteristic features of Inorganic Chemistry are firstly, their great diversity of contents and secondly, its interdisciplinary nature.
The significance of the Inorganic Chemistry goes beyond the purely academic boundaries and that is why we can find a variety of inorganic products that are commonly used in our daily lives, and there are many examples with significant implications in industrial and technological processes that contribute decisively to the development of society.
In the curriculum of the Degree in Chemistry of the UDC, and according to academic organisation criteria, teaching of Inorganic Chemistry is contemplated in the second year and organised 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 subject settles the basis for the following courses in the Inorganic Chemistry area and for the majority of other areas of knowledge.
