Chemistry Discipline

This is the course formerly known as "Descriptive Inorganic Chemsitry," affectionately known to the chemistry population in Magruder Hall as "DINC."  We use "Inorganic Chemistry" by Catherine E. Housecraft and Alan G. Sharpe as the text.

CATALOGUE DESCRIPTION:
An introduction to inorganic chemistry grounded in theoretical considerations supported by laboratory experience.  Topical discussions include periodicity, group theory, chemical bonding, compound stability, coordination chemistry, and current topics in inorganic chemistry.
