The Teaching of Inorganic Chemistry - Past, Present and Future
Inorganic chemistry has evolved and matured during the last 20-30 years to become a recognizable and well-defined subject area in chemistry. Prior to this time analytical chemistry and inorganic chemistry were inter-related areas of chemistry. The general content and emphasis for inorganic chemistry were focused by the requirements to understand aqueous chemistry involved in analytical determinations - typically bulk analysis via titrimetric or colourimetric analysis.
The teaching of inorganic chemistry considered binary compounds of the elements, periodic trends, redox behaviour and stability of aqueous ...
