We will conduct online teaching for this course in Fall 2020.
This course will focus on the molecular structures and properties of inorganic complexes and compounds. We will study concepts in bonding, trends in periodic properties, molecular symmetry and its relationship to spectra, solid-state, reaction mechanisms, coordination chemistry, and descriptive chemistry of selected elements.Lectures organize the material, outline goals and cover the basic principles of each topic. It is expected that students will read the textbook and work the problems as appropriate to augment the material presented in the class.Students must have followed the “Basic Chemistry” course or have demonstrated proficiency in chemistry at IB standard level, and consequently the “General Chemistry A” and “General Chemistry B” as prerequisites to be admitted to this course.

The aim of this course is to help students acquire an understanding of the principles of inorganic chemistry on the academic
level.
