Objectives of the Course

It aims to teach the properties and reactions of group 3A, 4A, 5A, 6A, 7A, 8A non-metal elements in the periodic table, the concept of metal and the chemistry of semi-metal elements.

Course Content

Learning information about the general properties of nonmetals, characteristic trends in the periodic table, the formation of nonmetals, their atomic and molecular properties, physical and chemical properties, their compounds and the areas of use of these compounds in industry. Learns the important physical, chemical and mechanical properties of semi-metals. Understands the application of this knowledge and concepts. Thus, he/she gains the ability to use, relate and interpret the concepts of non-metal and semi-metal.
