Inorganic Chemistry Fundamentals Through Problem Solving

Inorganic chemistry can seem complex, but mastering the underlying principles of atomic structure and bonding is the key to success in chemistry studies. This course provides a robust, text-based foundation in inorganic chemistry, equipping you with the analytical skills needed to interpret chemical behavior, predict reaction outcomes, and confidently tackle challenging theoretical problems. What you'll learn: * Understand the modern quantum mechanical model of the atom and core periodic properties. * Master chemical bonding theories, including VSEPR, valence bond theory, and molecular orbital theory. * Apply concepts of molecular symmetry and basic group theory to predict structure and properties. * Learn the nomenclature, structure, and isomerism of coordination compounds and complexes. * Configure basic concepts of solid-state chemistry, including crystal lattices and unit cells. * Practice solving complex inorganic chemistry problems using detailed, step-by-step written explanations. The course begins with foundational concepts of atomic structure and periodic trends, progresses through advanced bonding theories and crystal field theory, and concludes with an introduction to acid-base chemistry and solid-state principles. Every module includes written practice exercises designed to solidify your understanding. This course is designed for absolute beginners and chemistry students seeking a comprehensive review of foundational inorganic chemistry. No prior advanced chemistry knowledge is required.
