This laboratory course is designed to teach students modern instrumental, synthetic and computational methods used in physical and inorganic chemistry. The course is equally divided between physical and inorganic work. Students investigate major physical principles utilizing a variety of experimental and computation methods during the physical half of the course. They perform experiments in synthetic inorganic chemistry and learn about methods of characterization during the Inorganic half of the course. Throughout the course, students further develop their abilities to analyze and interpret data and improve technical writing skills. The course fosters greater independence in the lab and advanced laboratory skills. Experiments complement Modern and Classical Physical Chemistry and Inorganic Chemistry (Chemistry 335, 336, and 351). One four-hour laboratory per week. Overload. Prerequisite or Co-requisite: Chemistry 335 and 336. One-half unit.
