About This Course

Inorganic chemistry is concerned with the properties and behavior of inorganic compounds, which include metals, minerals, and organometallic compounds. While organic chemistry is defined as the study of carbon-containing compounds, inorganic chemistry is the study of the remaining (i.e., not carbon-containing) subset of compounds. But there can be overlap between the two fields. For example, organometallic compounds usually contain a metal or metalloid bonded directly to carbon. In general, there are four groups of inorganic compound types. They are divided into bases, acids, salts, and water.

Students understand the terms ‘inorganic compounds, double salts and coordination compounds. Students will acquire the skills to prepare different types of complexes. Students will identify the chemicals and apparatus required for the preparation of different types of complexes. Once students understand the concept of the experiment and the different steps, they can perform the experiment in the real lab more accurately and quickly.
