CHM 3310 · Inorganic Chemistry

Inorganic Chemistry

A complete inorganic-chemistry course: 8 units covering atomic structure, bonding, symmetry & group theory, acid–base & redox, coordination chemistry, main-group descriptive chemistry, organometallics & catalysis, and solid-state & bioinorganic chemistry. Every unit ships with a lecture video, notes, worked examples, a virtual PhET / ChemCollective / Otterbein lab, a mini-project, and curated references. Three 20-question unit tests, a 40-question final exam, and a capstone research project earn your CHM 3310 certificate.
