Inorganic Chemistry I
Description
Bonding, structures, preparation, properties, compounds, and reactions
of main group and transition metal elements. Offered fall semester.
Inorganic Chemistry I
Description
Surveys classical and contemporary approaches to the study of coordination compounds, solid-state chemistry and the chemistry of elements based on groups in the periodic table.
Intermediate Inorganic Chemistry, Spring 2019
Description
An introduction to the chemistry of inorganic compounds and materials. Descriptive chemistry of the elements. A survey of Crystal Field Theory, band theory, and various acid-base theories. Use of the chemical and scientific literature. Introduction to the seminar concept.
Inorganic Chemistry & Lab
Description
CHEM 4654 (CRN: 10411) and the accompanying lab (CHEM 4654L) is worth 4 credit hours. CHEM 4654 covers atomic theory and spectroscopy, periodic properties, descriptive chemistry, inorganic structure and bonding, coordination chemistry, organometallic chemistry, symmetry and group theory. Students must be concurrently enrolled in CHEM 4654L (CRN: 10412).
Crystallographic Resources at Otterbein University
Description
This site is another excellent resource from Dean Johnston (see also his Symmetry resource).
Important Note: Part of this web resource has recently been replaced by a new site with a new URL. The previous version used JSmol and had some quirks with ion sizes, but this complete revision addresses those and has a much more robust "tutorial" style for students to work through solid state structural types.
VIPEr Fellows 2019 Workshop Favorites
During our first fellows workshop, the first cohort of VIPEr fellows pulled together learning objects that they've used and liked or want to try the next time they teach their inorganic courses.
IUPAC Brief Guide to the Nomenclature of Inorganic Chemistry
Description
This is a short nomenclature guide designed to be used by students and faculty.
Guideline for drawing chemical structures
Description
This is the set of guidelines provided for authors by Nature Research. A 6-page PDF gives explicit guidance about rendering molecules using chemical drawing software, and a downloable ChemDraw template (.cds) is provided.
VSEPR: Flash Review
Description
This presentation is meant to be a review of applying VSEPRup to steric number 6. It's designed to be viewed as a powerpoint and printed out to keep for the student's notebook.
It can be used at multiple levels: as a review immediately after learning VSEPR in general chemistry, or as a refresher before starting upper level inorganic chemistry. The instructor could add text or voice over the slides to add more detail or leave the presentation as is for students.
Molecular Orbital Theory: Flash Review
Description
This presentation is meant to be a review of constructing and utilizing an MO diagram, in this case O2. It's designed to be viewed as a powerpoint and printed out to keep for the student's notebook.
It can be used at multiple levels: as a review immediately after learning MO theory in general chemistry, or as a refresher before starting upper level inorganic chemistry. The instructure could add text or voice over the slides to add more detail or leave the presentation as is for students.
