Final Exam
Text: Shriver, Atkins 5/e
Solutions to exercises are on reserve at Valley Library.
Expectations:
1. Read assigned chapters. Refer to supplied lecture notes to see key points, emphasized sections, extended content, and worked examples. Actively take notes and ask questions where needed.
2. Do all the assigned practice exercises and problems. If you have questions, look at the solutions manual, or ask the instructor.
3. For CH 512 - do the assigned problem sets.
4. Prepare appropriately for the exams. This absolutely requires that you review the material and assigned problems over several weeks, “cramming” this material into a few days is not possible. Do the practice exams for a final review and to become comfortable with the exam format.
Course Learning Objectives:
The course is designed to for students to analyze and integrate concepts relevant to inorganic chemistry (these are described in detail below) that are required to understand, read, write, and do research in inorganic chemistry.
For each of Chapters
Understand and describe the structures and properties of important chemical compounds containing the elements in this group.
Understand and describe the chemistry (acid/base, redox) of important compounds as provided in the text, lectures, and assigned problems.
Evaluate and predict these structures and chemistries based on periodic trends and inorganic chemical concepts.
For Chapter 23
Know structures of common solid lattices including spinel and perovskite
Understand types of defects, causes, relation to nonstoichiometry and diffusion
Understand and describe examples of intercalation chemistry and chemistry of framework structures
Understand and describe cooperative phenomenon such as magnetism and ferroelectric effects.
Describe recent research topics such as fullerenes and solid electrolytes
University and Departmental Policies:
"Students with documented disabilities who may need accommodations, who have any emergency medical information the instructor should know, or who need special arrangements in the event of evacuation, should make an appointment with the instructor as early as possible, no later that the first week of the term. In order to arrange alternative testing, the student should make the request at least one week in advance of the test. Students seeking accommodations should be registered with the Office of Services for Students with Disabilities."
You will be expected to conduct yourself in a professional manner. Acts of academic dishonesty, including cheating, fabrication, assisting, tampering, or plagiarism will not be tolerated. Please refer to the OSU Student Conduct code for details.
Behaviors disruptive to the learning environment will not be tolerated and will be referred to the Office of Student Conduct for disciplinary action.
“The goal of Oregon State University is to provide students with the knowledge, skill and wisdom they need to contribute to society. Our rules are formulated to guarantee each student's freedom to learn and to protect the fundamental rights of others. People must treat each other with dignity and respect in order for scholarship to thrive. Behaviors that are disruptive to teaching and learning will not be tolerated, and will be referred to the Student Conduct Program for disciplinary action. Behaviors that create a hostile, offensive or intimidating environment based on gender, race, ethnicity, color, religion, age, disability, marital status or sexual orientation will be referred to the Affirmative Action Office.”
