Introduction to Inorganic and Organometallic Chemistry

So far we've learned a lot about general chemistry and organic chemistry, so let's move into inorganic chemistry and organometallic chemistry. In this series we will investigate all the elements on the periodic table that were ignored in organic chemistry, especially the transition metals. These elements make interesting compounds that have incredible applications in chemical synthesis, so let's learn all about them together!

Check out "Is This Wi-Fi Organic?", my book on disarming pseudoscience!

"Buckle up, " indeed! Inorganic chemistry is a wild ride! In my profession - water and wastewater treatment - we deal with important metal salts and other inorganic compounds to achieve coagulation, flocculation, chlorination, and dechlorination (just to name a few). Looking forward to this series, Professor Dave!

I'm only 1/3 into general chemistry playlist, but I'm already excited about this one!

Nice video just one small correction. 0:42-1:05 Organic molecules are classified as Hydrogen carbon bonds. Things like graphene or carbide are inorganic. And also CO2 is classified as an inorganic compund.

I just started inorganic chemistry in my studies. Happy to see it will be discussed on your channel as well

Absolutely love all these chemistry playlists that you’re making, Professor Dave! I’d love if you could make a Physical Chemistry playlist in the future!

Recommended just after 2 min of you posting this video.

Omg yay! This is just in time for my second year of inorganic chemistry at undergrad! :D Thank you Professor Dave :)

Personally I took inorganic and O chem simultaneously. It seemed to help because to showed the absolute division between both fields. Maybe not absolute, but I knew which one was which. Just an observation

[Thaumius]

Could you make a series on polymer chemistry?

[FarnhamJ]

Yay, can't wait for more of this series; thanks Professor Dave!

[quintonwilson]

YES! I'm very excited. I won't be taking this series at school, but will likely watch your videos.

Is carbon dioxide an organic molecule? I would have said yes because it contains a carbon atom, but when i search up the question on google, the answer I get is "no".
The reason because of this is due to CO2 not possessing a hydrogen atom, which makes it non-organic. But that begs the question. Is the molecule tetrafloromethane (CF4) or tetrachloromethane (CCl4) non-organic because it contains no Hydrogen?

Would love to hear your thoughts, Professor Dave. Also can't wait to explore the topic of non-organic chemistry.

Great series. I’m a 77-year old female and I’m on a learning appetite. Your videos have educational me greatly. Thanks. Sue

It's just an introduction video. Lets wait for the content!!!

organometallic chemistry is extremely exciting and has a plethora of uses in drug design. Coupling amines to aromatic systems using buchwald hartwig amination allows you to mimic peptides in the body, and then incorporate them into solid phase synthesis. I use mimic loosely since this is not creating amino acids. But the palladium coupling reactions are a blessing.

Thanks so much, this is a topic that I have been wanting to learn more about!

[shreyasphanipendyala]

Great video! But, I just want to mention, carbon dioxide is also inorganic as one, it's missing hydrogen, and two, CO2 isn't a byproduct of a hydrocarbon + halogen reaction (ex: CCl4); CO2 exists as CO2 in the first place and is not a halocarbon.
Therefore, it's inorganic.

I'm incredibly stoked for this series. Thank you so much for putting this stuff out.

The study of inorganic chemistry is like the study of non-elephant biology.

You are the opening for almost every science/math class in my high school (it’s crash course for history).
