Three lecture and two lab hours. Pre or Corequisite A . This course is designed for senior students who are majoring in chemistry. It should provide the background in inorganic chemistry that the students need to pursue a career in chemistry at the bachelor's degree level, and it should also provide the background in inorganic chemistry that students need to pursue graduate studies in chemistry. Students are expected to learn the basic concepts of inorganic chemistry, and should be able to apply these concepts to solve problems involving new situations.
Strong emphasis is placed on descriptive chemistry.
The laboratory component introduce students to modern inorganic synthesis and characterization. The students will be given reading assignments from the textbooks and from other reference sources. There will be a number of graded problem sets assigned during the semester. There will be four lab reports in ACS publication style. E. There will be 3 one-hour exams F.
