265S Inorganic Chemistry and Materials. Topics in inoraganic chemistry, including atomic structure and periodicity of the elements, bonding and properties of solid state materials, coordination chemistry, electrochemistry, and inorganic polymers. Laboratories emphasize synthesis and characterization of inorganic systems and measurement of properties of inorganic materials with investigation of their applications. Three hours of lecture, three hours of laboratory. Topics include the in-depth study of chemical equilibrium, electrochemical methods and chemical separations.
Laboratory emphasizes the uncertainty analysis and practical applications of analytical chemistry.
