CHE 332: Inorganic Chemistry
Course Description:
A study of the chemistry of inorganic compounds,including the principles of covalent and ionic bonding, symmetry, periodic properties, metallic bonding, acid-base theories, coordination chemistry, inorganic reaction mechanisms, and selected topics in descriptive inorganic chemistry. Laboratory work is required. 4 hours credit.
Prerequisites: CHE 341and CHE 361
