The basics and rules about oxidation states
See what a super acid looks like
Learn which element comes in many different colours
Find out which substance conducts heat better than any other
Learn which element you can “blow” out of the ground
See which solution can even dissolve gold
Requirements
A desire to think outside the box and towards material application
Basic nomenclature of chemistry (helpful but not required)
Description
You are a professional, a student, a teacher or just interested in general trends, reactions and applications of chemistry? Then this is the right course for you!In this course, we will cover various concepts, reactions and applications of chemistry which you might meet in your everyday life or use unknowingly come into contact with. Chemistry infuses our lives on so many levels that it is an essential but demanding task to understand it in depth.The concept of this course is not to only give textbook explanations to things, explain models. Instead it aims at using your knowledge to understand the bigger picture and apply the knowledge you gained.To provide an appealing curriculum we combined the three big pillars of chemistry which is scientific research, application in industry and you as a student. By this we want to give scientific explanations to industrially relevant topics and show you how often you might meet certain elements without realizing it.This curriculum of this course will cover the basics and concepts behind oxidation states. We will use this concept to understand the reactivity and behavior of certain elements. In the broader picture, we will connect the reactivity trends of elements with their Periodic Table Groups and help you gain and understanding for these patterns. We will have an in-depth look at the elements of main group 5 to 8 and their most interesting applications. Note that the focus does not lay on enumerating a multitude of examples but about teaching and understanding concepts!In this first part of the course we will cover the concept and rules of oxidation states and cover the main group elements of group 5 to 8.
