This class describes and classifies the chemistry of the periodic table.  The focus is on the periodic reactivity, properties, and structure of elements and compounds.  The description of these interactions is based on atomic and molecular orbitals.  The class will cover the fundamental areas of inorganic chemistry; structure and orbitals, symmetry, acid-base reactions, redox, and transition and actinide elements. Specific complexes and reactions with C, B, N, and O are covered.  Advanced topics discussed will include d- and f- organometallics, spectroscopy, catalysts, and bioinorganic chemistry
