Inorganic Chemistry I

Teaching Pattern

Methodology The lectures will be focused on the description and discussion of the fundamental ideas and the more important principles of inorganic chemistry. Students are expected to read their textbooks to gain better understanding of the key concepts of the subjects. A few problem sets will be provided throughout the course; students should try to solve them although it is not mandatory for them to submit the solutions. The students will be graded based upon their performance in the form of continuous
