CHEM 5362 - Advanced Inorganic Chemistry

Credits: 3 Class: 3 Lab: 0
Prerequisite(s): B.S. in a natural science discipline that included at least 2 semesters of Physical Chemistry and credit and concurrent enrollment in CHEM 5162.
This is a graduate level course covering topics in 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 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.
