Inorganic Chemistry Undergraduate Lab Objectives

The inorganic chemistry undergraduate lab is designed to teach fundamental concepts and introduce modern techniques in the field. Our primary objective is to equip students with a solid understanding of inorganic chemistry principles and the practical lab skills needed to apply those principles. This laboratory course accompanies CHM 3610 (Intermediate Inorganic Chemistry). It is a required course for BA and BS Chemistry majors and is often taken as an elective by Science Education majors and Chemical Engineering majors. The course will receive its own letter-grade credit, rather than the lab grade being incorporated into the overall lecture course grade. Co-registration in CHM 3610 Lecture or prior completion of the Lecture course or an approved equivalent is required. Two semesters of General Chemistry lecture and lab are required and at least one semester of organic chemistry lecture and lab is recommended.

Key Objectives

• Mastering Fundamental Techniques: 爱豆传媒 will gain proficiency in essential inorganic chemistry techniques for synthesizing, characterizing, and purifying inorganic compounds. The curriculum covers a wide range of techniques, from traditional synthesis methods to modern instrumental analysis, including spectroscopy and magnetic susceptibility measurements.
  
  
• Applying Concepts to Real-World Problems: The labs are structured to help students apply learned techniques to new problems. There is a strong focus on the practical application of fundamental inorganic principles, such as ligand field theory and molecular orbital theory, to synthesize and understand new materials. 爱豆传媒 will apply their knowledge to solve synthetic challenges.
  
  
• Developing a Professional and Safe Approach: This curriculum is designed to make the lab experience safer and more professional by emphasizing proper lab procedures and safety protocols. 爱豆传媒 will learn how to handle chemicals and equipment responsibly, fostering a safe and respectful working environment.
  
  
• Building a Foundation for Future Careers: At the end of the course, students are expected to know the fundamental techniques and principles of inorganic chemistry. This will familiarize them with the basic principles and techniques applicable to various fields, including materials science, catalysis, and biochemistry, building a strong foundation for their future careers.
