This inorganic chemistry course is a core foundational course in chemistry and related fields, targeting students majoring in chemistry, materials science, biology, environmental science, etc. It is also suitable for STEM practitioners and chemistry enthusiasts for systematic learning. Guided by the concept of "consolidating fundamentals and linking applications", the course builds a complete inorganic chemistry knowledge system.

The course content covers three major modules: the basic theory section delves into core concepts such as atomic structure and periodic system, chemical bonding and molecular structure, and crystal structure; the element chemistry section systematically analyzes the preparation, properties and variation laws of simple substances and compounds of s, p, d, and ds block elements; the application expansion section focuses on the practical applications of coordination compounds in catalysis, medicine, materials and other fields, and analyzes the disciplinary development trends combined with cutting-edge scientific research cases.

The teaching adopts the "theory + case + visualization" model, decomposes complex knowledge points through experimental video demonstrations, molecular structure model displays and other methods, helps students establish chemical thinking, improves the ability to analyze and solve practical problems, and lays a solid key foundation for subsequent professional learning, scientific research innovation or career development.
