Annotation
Lecture is dedicated to students of bachelor chemistry programs. It is the first part of basic course of inorganic chemistry, which is followed by the lecture Inorganic Chemistry II (a).
The course contains chapters of general inorganic chemistry (electronic structure of atoms and molecules, trends in periodic table of elements, molecular shape and symmetry, crystal symmetry, kinds of chemical reactions and equilibria) and part of systematic chemistry of main group elements (H, O, elements of groups 15-18).
