127 Advanced Inorganic Chemistry

Of course 127 will rely heavily on 107 Inorganic Chemistry. We have taken some of the most important topics from 107 to review below. If you find in class that you have forgotten or never learned something from 107 that would be useful for you, remember that all of our Chem lectures are online. Specifically here are the lectures From Dr. Matt Law teaching 107 (Click to access) .
