CHE 180 - Inorganic Chemistry

Semester Hours: 4

A study of the energetics of the bonding and reactions of inorganic compounds. Emphasis is given to the periodicity of the chemical and physical properties of the elements. Major themes of the course include effective nuclear charge, lattice energy, charge density, acid/base theories, and the descriptive chemistry of all of the elements. The laboratory includes the investigation of the energetics of reactions, the synthesis and analysis of coordination compounds, qualitative chemistry, and the communication of results.

Prerequisite: CHE 117 with a grade of C- or better.
Lab Included: LB
When Offered: Offered Fall and Spring semesters.
