CHEM 431 - Advanced Inorganic Chemistry (3 units)
Atomic structure; types of bonding; relationships among molecular structure and symmetry, physical properties, and reactivity of the elements and their compounds.
Co-requisite(s): CHEM 422 .
Units of Lecture: 3
Offered Every Spring
Student Learning Outcomes (if available):
Upon completion of this course:
1. Students will be able to draw and explain advanced Lewis structures for compounds of p-block elements that depict the correct number of valence electrons and the correct spatial arrangements of atoms.
2. Students will be able to identify and explain coordination geometries and diastereoisomerism.
3. Students will be able to draw d orbital splitting diagrams to determine high and low spin configurations and to predict magnetic properties.
4. Students will be able to describe the nature of the metal-ligand interaction using simple orbital diagrams.
5. Students will be able to calculate electron count as it pertains to the 18-electron rule.
6. Students will be able to draw orbital diagrams for bonding interactions of common organometallic ligands.
7. Students will be able to construct and explain the electronic structure of transition metal complexes.
8. Students will be able to explain and apply the fundamentals of symmetry and group theory.
