Explanations to Questions in Lecture

The book presents no theoretical explanations, but does contain many questions relating to the technique of an experiment and its theory. The student must answer them, using the relevant textbooks and supplementary literature, and also the materials of lectures. The need to find an answer to a question in the book will teach a student studying inorganic chemistry to work independently and thoughtfully with chemical literature from his very first steps, and, in addition, will relate the theoretical course and experimental work, which will help mastering the subject as a whole.
