These learning goals are linked to program-level objectives and may not address specific learning objectives for inorganic chemistry concepts.

• Apply the general principles, laws, and theories of chemistry and place these in their proper historical context.
• Predict the bonding patterns, chemical properties and reactivity of an element based on its electronic structure.
• Predict and explain the molecular structures, shapes, and symmetry of molecules.
• Given appropriate constants and/or other relevant information, calculate and interpret the energetics, kinetics, equilibria, and electrochemistry of chemical reactions.
• Identify uses of coordination chemistry in the fields of material science, green chemistry, and bioinorganic chemistry.
• Design and conduct an experiment to achieve a predetermined goal.
• Perform laboratory experiments demonstrating safe and proper use of standard chemistry glassware, equipment, and chemicals.
• Record, graph, chart and conceptually and mathematically interpret data obtained from experimentation.
• Use critical thinking and logic in the solution of new problems.
• Develop an appreciation of the value of chemistry by identifying ways in which chemistry impacts our daily lives.
• Demonstrate an understanding for the intricate design contained in matter, citing examples from chemistry that could be used to indicate the hand of God in the design of matter.
