Browse Hierarchy CHE113: Fundamentals of Inorganic Chemistry

This module is designed to introduce first year students to fundamental principles underpinning inorganic chemistry. The module will give detailed consideration to theories of atomic structure, the nature of bonding in diatomic and polyatomic molecules, the structure of inorganic complexes including consideration of their colour and magnetism as well as an introduction to symmetry operations and point groups. Emphasis is placed on developing understanding of concepts which can then be applied to more advanced topics in inorganic chemistry.
