inorganic chemistry

Examples of inorganic chemistry in the following topics:

• The Study of Chemistry

  • Chemistry is the study of matter and the chemical reactions between substances.
  • Chemistry has the answer to these questions and many more.
  • Inorganic chemistry studies substances that do not contain carbon.
  • Organic chemistry studies carbon-based substances.
  • Biophysical chemistry is the application of physical chemistry in a biological context.

• Naming Hydrates

  • "Hydrate" is a term used in inorganic chemistry and organic chemistry to indicate that a substance contains loosely bonded water.
  • In organic chemistry, hydrates tend to be rarer.
  • Generate the chemical formula and systematic name of a given inorganic hydrate

• Chemical Analysis

  • Coordination complexes and their chemistry can be used to analyze the composition of a solution by precipitation or colorimetric analysis.
  • These methods are called classical qualitative inorganic analysis.
  • Classical qualitative inorganic analysis is a method of analytical chemistry that seeks to find the elemental compositions of inorganic compounds.
  • It is applicable to both organic compounds and inorganic compound.

• Solubility Product Principle and Qualitative Analysis

  • Classical qualitative inorganic analysis is a method of analytical chemistry that seeks to find the elemental composition of inorganic compounds.

• Determining Atomic Structures by X-Ray Crystallography

  • Substances including inorganic salts and minerals, semiconductors, and organic and biological compounds can form crystals under suitable and specific conditions.
  • X-ray crystallography is a powerful tool that has broad applications in the determination of the structures of both organic and inorganic compounds.
  • Throughout the history of chemistry and biochemistry, x-ray crystallography has been one of the most important methods in helping scientists understand the atomic structure and bonding.

• Naming Familiar Inorganic Compounds

  • Familiar inorganic and organic compounds are often known by their common, or "trivial," names.

• Introduction to Chemical Reactivity

  • Organic chemistry encompasses a very large number of compounds ( many millions ), and our previous discussion and illustrations have focused on their structural characteristics.
  • Now that we can recognize these actors ( compounds ), we turn to the roles they are inclined to play in the scientific drama staged by the multitude of chemical reactions that define organic chemistry.
  • It may be organic or inorganic; small or large; gas, liquid or solid.

• Addition Reactions of Alkenes

  • A large number of reagents, both inorganic and organic, have been found to add to this functional group, and in this section we shall review many of these reactions.

• Oxidation States of Phosphorus Compounds

  • Organophosphorus compounds having phosphorus oxidation states ranging from –3 to +5, as shown in the following table, are well known (some simple inorganic compounds are displayed in green).

• Historical Background

  • Second it cast doubt on the widely held doctrine of vitalism, which maintained that all living organisms were endowed with a vital or life force that rendered them and their component parts uniquely different from ordinary "inorganic" matter.
  • Thus, strongly heating organic substances such as carbohydrates and proteins yielded water, ammonia and carbonaceous solids (all inorganic), with loss of the vial essence.
  • Wöhler's experiment was acclaimed as the first conversion of an inorganic substance into an organic compound.
  • Less than twenty years later, the German chemist Adolf Kolbe provided an even more convincing synthesis of organic from inorganic substances.
  • Perkin, a student (age 18) at the Royal College of Chemistry in London, attempted its synthesis in his home laboratory.
