Modern concepts of inorganic and transition-metal
chemistry with emphasis on bonding, structure,
thermodynamics, kinetics and mechanisms, and
periodic and family relationships. Atomic
structure, theories of bonding, symmetry,
molecular shapes (point groups), crystal
geometries, acid-base theories, survey of familiar
elements, boron hydrides, solid-state materials,
nomenclature, crystal field theory, molecular
orbital theory, isomerism, geometries, magnetic
and optical phenomena, spectra, synthetic methods,
organometallic compounds, cage structures,
clusters, lanthanides, actinides.
