100312210 INORGANIC CHEMISTRY I ( 3 Crd.Hrs )

Pre-Requisites : 100311020

A lecture course covering atomic structure, bonding, the periodic table (chemistry of representative elements and their inorganic compounds) and other topics of current interest. The course introduces students to the various theories and techniques applied to these systems. Valence bond and molecular orbital descriptions of bonding will be constructed, developed (VSEPR and hybridization), and applied to explain molecular geometries vibrational spectra and magnetic properties. Some other topics to be included are stereochemistry, solid state chemistry, and coordination and solubility equilibria.
