Advanced Inorganic Chemistry
CHEMISTRY 333, 1998
DESCRIPTION:
"A study of modern theories of atomic and molecular structure and their
relationships to the chemistry of
selected elements and their compounds." The course is divided into three
areas:
a) Atomic and molecular properties, Chemical Bonding and Symmetry
b) Coordination Chemistry (d-Metal Complexes)
c) Selected topics of solution and descriptive chemistry
CLASS HOURS: Lecture: MWF, 10:15 - 11:05 a.m.; Lab: R 07:45 - 11:35 a.m.
INSTRUCTOR: Dr. David A. Franz Office: 321-4181 Home: 326-7594 E-mail: franz@lycoming.edu
OFFICE HOURS: MWF, 11:15 - 12:00 a.m.; MF, 2:00 - 3:00 p.m.; or by appointment
TEXT: Shriver, D. F.; Atkins, P.; Langford, C.H. Inorganic Chemistry , 2nd Ed.; Freeman: New York, 1994.
LAB POLICIES:
Safety glasses and bound lab notebook required; no bare feet, sandals or
shorts in lab. Written lab reports
will be due one week following completion of each experiment. Late reports
will be docked five points plus
one point per day late.
EXAMS: There will be three hour exams and a comprehensive final (ACS Standardized).
HOMEWORK:
A regular schedule of assignments will be made and must be completed when
due. These assignments, as
well as written lab reports, are considered take-home, open-book quizzes
and will be graded. Students may
consult the instructor for hints, and are welcome to consult literature
sources, but must do their own work.
Violations of this policy will be considered as cases of academic dishonesty
(see next page).
