一、課程說明(Course Description)
<br>The objectives of this course are to introduce basic materials chemistry 
<br>conducted by inorganic chemistry. It covers basic inorganic chemistry theories 
<br>and methods that are important for materials engineering applications. The 
<br>content includes basic concepts, Nuclear properties, molecular symmetry, 
<br>bonding in polyatomic molecules, structures and energetics of metallic and 
<br>ionic solids, acids, bases and ions in aqueous solution, reduction and 
<br>oxidation, non-aqueous media, reaction kinetics, chemical equilibrium, periodic 
<br>relationships among the elements and chemistry of common metals and nonmetallic 
<br>inorganic compounds.
