Welcome to Chemistry 468


Welcome to Chemistry 468. Inorganic chemistry often serves to tie together and solidify concepts learned in your other chemistry courses. This course will reinforce old concepts and introduce new ways of viewing molecules and understanding their properties. I hope you'll find this short 8-week semester to be fun and worthwhile.
