This course is intended to provide basic knowledge in inorganic chemistry. The student gets an understanding of the Bohr model of the atom and the modern quantum mechanical model of the atom through the first module of this course. Different types of chemical bonding are also included in the first module. General properties of the atom and the variation of these properties in the periodic table are also discussed in this course. Basic principles of analytical chemistry are included in the third module of this course which includes acid- base titration, redox titration, complexometric titration, and mixture analysis. This course also tries to explain the roles of metal ions in biological systems and understand the biochemistry of certain key elements. To master the laboratory skills acid-base titration, and redox titration experiments are incorporated into this course structure.
