Inorganic Chemistry Lecture Materials

These are the Inorganic Chemistry Lecture materials of the Virtual Cell Biology Classroom. The resources below are used to supplement an actual college cell biology course. Anyone taking, teaching or interested in biology may find these materials helpful and is welcome to use them.

The Inorganic Chemistry Lecture materials include:

a list of learning objectives

a PowerPoint lecture

a homework assignment

"class note" articles

practice test questions

review questions

links to additional educational resources

INORGANIC CHEMISTRY LECTURE LEARNING OBJECTIVES

These lecture learning objectives are a study guide based on the VCBC Inorganic Chemistry PowerPoint:

Understand how atoms, molecules and compounds are represented using chemical symbols & formulas.

Describe the subatomic parts of an atom.

What are valence electrons and why are they important?

Understand the three different types of bonds that we discussed: ionic, covalent and hydrogen.

Understand the different types of basic reaction types: synthesis (such as dehydration reaction), decomposition (such as hydrolysis reaction), and exchange.

What is a redox reaction? What does it mean for something to be oxidized? Reduced?

What is an ion and how does it relate to acids, bases and salts?

What is an isotope?

Compare and contrast acids bases and salts.

Know enough about the pH scale to understand which numbers represent acidic, neutral and basic substances.

What are buffers?

INORGANIC CHEMISTRY LECTURE POWERPOINT

All of the lecture PowerPoints used in the Virtual Cell Biology Classroom have a fill-in-the-blank format to encourage students to pay attention and follow along during the presentation. Instructors, contact us for the information that goes in the blanks.

HELPFUL TIPS: Some of the PowerPoint presentations are large files and may take a few moments to download, depending on the speed of your internet connection. If you are printing a hard copy of the PowerPoint, you can save paper by selecting Handouts (rather than Slides) in the "Print What:" drop down menu of the PPT print screen. Then you can choose the number of slides you want to have on each printed page. If the printed PPT presentation is to be used as student notes, it is best to choose handouts with 2 or 3 slides per page.

INORGANIC CHEMISTRY HOMEWORK

Word document of a single essay question students complete at the end of the lecture. This tool helps the students review the main messages of the lecture while allowing the instructor to assess the class' understanding of the material.

INORGANIC CHEMISTRY CLASS NOTES

Here are brief summaries of some of the various subtopics and concepts introduced in this lecture, kind of like really good class notes.

What Is the pH Scale? Measurement of Acidity & Alkalinity

INORGANIC CHEMISTRY PRACTICE TEST QUESTIONS Part I & Part II

Practice test questions designed to help you better understand inorganic chemistry. They are based on material in the Inorganic Chemistry PowerPoint Lecture.

INORGANIC CHEMISTRY REVIEW QUESTIONS

Questions designed to help you review the material in the Inorganic Chemistry PowerPoint Lecture.
