CHEM 3480 - Foundational Inorganic Chemistry

UG
Credit Hours: 4

This course is an introduction to the chemistry of inorganic compounds. The focus is on the application of the fundamental chemical concepts (such as atomic and molecular structure, chemical bonding, and reaction types) to transition metals and main group elements. Topics may include nuclear chemistry, electrochemistry, crystal field theory, solid state structures, descriptive chemistry of the elements, and bioinorganic chemistry. The laboratory work emphasizes the synthesis of a variety of inorganic compounds and their characterization by modern experimental methods.

Prerequisites: CHEM 1420.
