This course is a survey of Inorganic Chemistry. A systematic examination of the chemical elements and their compounds with an emphasis on the properties of periods and groups. The course illustrates the correlation of physical and chemical properties of inorganic compounds to atomic structure and bonding. It emphasizes the chemical and physical trends of inorganic elements and or compounds. The qualitative analysis of ions (cations and anions) is also discussed.

The major areas of concern will include: Group I and II elements and selected compounds, Group IV elements and selected compounds, Group VII elements and selected compounds, first row of transition elements and selected compounds
