The objective of this course is to give the students a basic understanding to theoretical inorganic chemistry and to apply this understanding to problem solving involving critical thinking. This basic understanding is to prepare the students for additional coursework, either in chemistry or in other disciplines, and to help the student function in a technological society.

Fundamentals, atom, molecule, chemical bond, binding in polyatomic molecules, structrures and energy of metallic and ionic solids, acids and bases, chemistry of metals, coordination compounds.
