CHEM 3100 - Inorganic Chemistry

Current theoretical models for correlation of inorganic systems; review of major chemical trends across periodic table; oxidation states of elements, oxidation-reduction equilibria, and introduction to acid-base equilibria. Introduction to inorganic stereochemistry including coordination compounds, organometallic compounds, and electron-deficient molecules. Students need to complete CHEM 1220 or CHEM 1221 prior to taking this class, and it is recommended that they either have already taken CHEM 2310 and CHEM 3060, or else be enrolled in them simultaneously.
