Foundational Inorganic Chemistry

Catalog description

An in-depth overview of the elements and their molecules building from the quantum model of the atom towards elemental properties and MO theory. The latter theory is deeply explored to understand bonding and predict molecular properties. These properties are also discussed through the lens of symmetry and geometry. Transition metals are a key focus and coverage of their properties includes periodic trends, redox chemistry, solid state electronics, formation of small molecule complexes, and photochemistry.
