What is inorganic chemistry?
Organic chemistry is:the chemistry of lifethe chemistry of hydrocarbon compoundsC, H, N, O
Inorganic chemistry is:The chemistry of everything elseThe chemistry of the whole periodic Table(including carbon)

Inorganic chemistry has always been relevant in human history
• Ancient gold, silver and copper objects, ceramics, glasses (3,000-1,500 BC)• Alchemy (attempts to “transmute” base metals into gold led to many discoveries)• Common acids (HCl, HNO3, H2SO4) were known by the 17th century• By the end of the 19th Century the Periodic Table was proposed and the early atomic theories were laid out
• Coordination chemistry began to be developed at the beginning of the 20th century• Great expansion during World War II and immediately after• Crystal field and ligand field theories developed in the 1950’s• Organometallic compounds are discovered and defined in the mid-1950’s (ferrocene)• Ti-based polymerization catalysts are discovered in 1955, opening the “plastic era”• Bio-inorganic chemistry is recognized as a major component of life

Quantum mechanics provides explanations for many experimental observations
From precise orbits to orbitals:
mathematical functions describing the probable location and characteristics of electrons
electron density: probability of finding the electron in a particular portion of
space
Characteristics of a well behaved wave function
• Single valued at a particular point (x, y, z).• Continuous, no sudden jumps.• Normalizable. Given that the square of the absolute value of
the eave function represents the probability of finding the electron then sum of probabilities over all space is unity.

It is these requirements that introduce quantization.
Electron in One Dimensional Box
Definition of the Potential, V(x)V(x) = 0 inside the box 0 <x<lV(x) = infinite outside box; x <0 or x> l
Q.M. solution in atomic units
- ½ d2/dx2 X(x) = E X(x)Standard technique: assume a form of the
solution.Assume X(x) = a ekx
Where both a and k will be determined from auxiliary conditions.
Recipe: substitute into the DE and see what you get.
Substitution yields- ½ k2 ekx = E ekx
ork = +/- i (2E)0.5
General solution becomesX (x) = a ei sqrt(2E)x + b e –i sqrt(2E)x
where a and b are arbitrary consantsUsing the Cauchy equality e i z = cos(z) + i sin(z) Substsitution yieldsX(x) = a cos (sqrt(2E)x) + b (cos(-sqrt(2E)x)
+ i a sin (sqrt(2E)x) + i b(sin(-sqrt(2E)x)
Regrouping
X(x) = (a + b) cos (sqrt(2E)x) + i (a - b) sin(sqrt(2E)x)
Or
X(x) = c cos (sqrt(2E)x) + d sin(sqrt(2E)x)
We can verify the solution as follows
½ d2/dx2 X(x) = E X(x) (??)
- ½ d2/dx2 (c cos (sqrt(2E)x) + d sin (sqrt(2E)x) )
= - ½ ((2E)(- c cos (sqrt(2E)x) – d sin (sqrt(2E)x)
= E (c cos (sqrt(2E)x + d sin(sqrt(2E)x))
= E X(x)
We have simply solved the DE; no quantum effects have been introduced.
Introduction of constraints:
-Wave function must be continuous
at x = 0 or x = l X(x) must equal 0
Thus
c = 0, since cos (0) = 1
and second constraint requires that sin(sqrt(2E) l ) = 0
Which is achieved by (sqrt(2E) l ) = n

Atomic problem, even for only one electron, is much more complex.
• Three dimensions, polar spherical coordinates: r, • Non-zero potential
– Attraction to nucleus– For more than one electron, electron-electron repulsion.
The solution of Schrödinger’s equations for a one electron atom in 3D produces 3 quantum numbers
Relativistic corrections define a fourth quantum number

Electrons in polyelectronic atoms(the Aufbau principle)
•Electrons are placed in orbitals to give the minimum possible energy to the atomOrbitals are filled from lowest energy up
•Each electron has a different set of quantum numbers (Pauli’s exclusion principle)Since ms = 1/2, no more than 2 electrons may be accommodated in one orbital
•Electrons are placed in orbitals to give the maximum possible total spin (Hund’s Rule)Electrons within a subshell prefer to be unpaired in different orbitals, if possible
