CHEM 4362 - Advanced Inorganic Chemistry

Credits: 3 Class: 3 Lab: 0
Prerequisite(s): CHEM 3332/CHEM 3132 and credit or concurrent enrollment in CHEM 4162.
An introduction to modern inorganic chemistry including theoretical and descriptive chemistry, along with discussion of important applications. The theoretical aspects include the quantum mechanical basis of atomic and molecular structure, the nature of chemical bonding, and the thermodynamics and kinetics of inorganic reactions. The descriptive component involves the application of the theoretical principles to the actual properties of the elements and their respective compounds. The course also includes a discussion of some of the most important scientific, technological, and industrial applications of inorganic chemistry.
