    a) Brief Overview of Course:


    The course examines bonding, its characteristics, and the trends in the physical and
    chemical properties of elements in groups IA-VIIIA of the periodic table, with special
    highlights of selected inorganic compounds of interest.

    b) Course Objectives/Learning Goals:


    At the end of this course, students are expected to:
    1. understand bonding, its types and characteristic properties
    2. understand how bond type determines the structure and geometry of chemical
    compounds
    3. understand trends in the physical and chemical properties of elements in groups
    IA-VIIIA of the periodic table.

    c) Methods of Instruction for laboratory Exercise:


    1. Teaching.
    2. Class interaction and discussion.
    3. Guided instruction and demonstration.
    4. Usage of overhead projector and multi-media.
    5. Lecture notes
    d) Course Outlines:
    Chemical bonding and structure: ionic, covalent, coordinate covalent (dative), metallic,
    hydrogen bonding. General properties of compounds formed by the different types of
