  2. Intro to Inorganic Chemistry • Combination reactions • Decomposition Reactions • Single Displacement Reactions • Double Displacement Reactions

  3. What it is… • Inorganic chemistry is concerned with the properties and behavior of inorganic compounds (principally of mineral, not biological, origin). • This field covers all chemical compounds except the myriad organic compounds (compounds containing C-H bonds). The distinction between the two disciplines is far from absolute, and there is much overlap, most importantly in the sub-discipline of organometallic chemistry, • The study of chemical compounds containing bonds between carbon and a metal (an element that readily loses electrons to form cations and has metallic bonds between metal atoms).

  4. JOB FUNCTIONS • Inorganic chemists synthesize new materials and use the tools of physical chemistry to understand their three-dimensional structure and chemical reactivity, which in turn leads to applications in the real world. • It has applications in every aspect of the chemical industry-including catalysis, materials science, pigments, surfactants, coatings, medicine, fuel, and agriculture. • Most inorganic chemists work in the lab. They work actively in partnership with engineers, physicists, and materials scientists; and, it is important for inorganic chemists to have a basic knowledge of these other disciplines. Inorganic chemists also spend time on project management, writing proposals, and getting funding for their work.

  5. Places of Employment • Inorganic chemistry is a general specialty. Therefore, inorganic chemists work in many different industries and for many different types of employers. • Inorganic chemists are employed by industries based on inorganic materials such as mining companies, microchip or computer manufacturers, and ceramics makers. They are employed by the government in the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the U.S. Geological Survey, and National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). Education is also an important area of employment; inorganic chemists teach at the pre-high school, high school, college, and university levels.

  6. JOB OUTLOOK • The job market is tight right now for inorganic chemists. • Fields like mining and mineral research are shrinking, the ceramics industry is still small, and even the growing computer and microchip industries have been tightening and are not hiring as many new scientists as they have in the past. • While advanced materials is expected to pick up and to need trained inorganic chemists, this may not happen for a while. Inorganic chemists recommend broad training which will facilitate the transfer of skills to a variety of job opportunities.

  7. SALARY RANGE • Inexperienced inorganic chemists start at about $24,000-per-year at the bachelor's level, $30,000-per-year at the master's level, and $50,000-per-year at the doctorate level. • However, most inorganic chemists, after entering the field, become more specialized in a particular area. For a specialized inorganic chemist with a bachelor's degree and 10 years of experience in industry, the median salary is in the low $40,000-per-year range.
