DESCRIPTION & OBJECTIVES

The main objective of this course is to build a general concept about  inorganic chemistry. This course is designed for the students of BS-6th Semster. This provides detailed informations about the major topics of Inorganic Chemistry.  Different aspects of inorganic Chemistry including  dipole moments , hydrogen bonding and  band theory of metallic bonding are covered. The main objectives of this course is to impart knowldge about transition metal carbonyls (Mononuclear, Binuclear, Polynuclear) and also complexometric titrations involving various reagents (EDTA etc).  It develops understanding of students about role of organic reagents in different analytical techniques.  

LEARNING OUTCOMES.

Students will be expected to gain an understanding about the following concepts in  inorganic chemistry. 

• Intermolecular Interactions (Dipole Moments , dipole-induced
  dipole forces,hydrogen bonding)
• VSEPR model followed by VB Theory
• Transition metal carbonyls

They will come to know about different routine complexometric titrations.They will able to performe different laboratory practices.
