If organic chemistry is considered to be the ‘chemistry of carbon’, then inorganic chemistry is the chemistry of all elements except carbon. In its broadest sense, this is true, but of course there are overlaps between branches of chemistry.
Inorganic chemistry is not simply the study of elements and compounds; it is also the study of physical principles. For example, in order to understand why some compounds are soluble in a given solvent and others are not, we apply laws of thermodynamics. If our aim is to propose details of a reaction mechanism, then a knowledge of reaction kinetics is needed. Overlap between physical and inorganic chemistry is also signi?cant in the study of molecular structure. In the solid state, X-ray di?raction methods are routinely used to obtain pictures of the spatial arrangements of atoms in a
molecule or molecular ion. To interpret the behaviour of molecules in solution, we use physical techniques such as nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy;
we outline some concepts fundamental to an understanding of inorganic chemistry.
An atom is the smallest unit quantity of an element that is capable of existence, either alone or in chemical combination with other atoms of the same or another element. The fundamental particles of which atoms are composed are the proton , electron and neutron .
