This course provides a comprehensive survey of Inorganic Chemistry, focusing on the systematic study of chemical elements and their compounds. Emphasis is placed on understanding the properties and trends of elements across periods and groups, with particular attention to how atomic structure and bonding influence the physical and chemical properties of inorganic compounds. The course also explores the chemical and physical trends of inorganic elements and compounds and includes qualitative analysis techniques for identifying cations and anions.

Key areas of study include the elements and compounds of Period 3, Groups I and II, Group VII, Group IV and first-row transition elements. The course is highly relevant to various fields, including petroleum refining, pharmaceutical production, photovoltaics, polymers, semiconductors, nanomaterials, biochemistry, and catalysis. The fundamental principles of inorganic chemistry introduced in this course provide essential knowledge for students pursuing further studies in chemistry, biochemistry, medicinal chemistry, materials chemistry, physics, chemical engineering, and pharmacy.
