Inorganic Chemistry

Catalog description

It focuses on several subjects that were originally introduced in the General Chemistry sequence ( CEM 1510 , CEM 1520 ) in much great depth. We will emphasize atomic and molecular structure, and the nature of the chemical bond. Inorganic Chemistry also introduces the student to symmetry operations, group theory, photophysics, and the theory of electrical conduction. The course is intended to reinforce basic concepts as well as providing a “first look” at some of the most advanced topics in the general field of inorganic chemistry. Inorganic Chemistry does not include a laboratory section.
