Proposal Subject: (One sentence overview of the proposal. Examples: change in title, prerequisite and description of NUR XYZ. Create new plan of
study in XYZ department, etc.)
Change in prerequisite for CHM 34200 Inorganic Chemistry
Justification: (Explain the rationale for the proposed change.)
Presently, students must obtain an override to register for the course and generally take it concurrently with CHM 37400 Physical
Chemistry II. Additionally, there are several degree programs in chemistry that require inorganic chemistry but do not require CHM
37400. This change, along with curricular adjustments within the course, will make the course more accessible
Current: (If proposal is for a course change, enter current course
Proposed: (If proposal is a for a course change or new course,
information here. Include title, credits, pattern, etc. If proposal is for a
change in plan of study, enter name here, and include current bingo
sheet as an attached document, labelled CURRENT.)

Inorganic Chemistry properties of inorganic compounds in
terms of their electronic and molecular structures. A survey
of the preparations and reactivities of important compounds
of the representative elements with an emphasis on group
trends. The elementary chemistry of the transition metals
including magnetic and spectral properties of coordination
compounds. Interpretation and correlation or inorganic
compounds electronic and molecular structures. The
chemistry of the transition metals including magnetic and
spectral properties of coordination compounds. Structure and
bonding models. Acid-base solvolysis and thermodynamics of
inorganic systems.
Prerequisites:
CHM 37400

Prerequisites:
CHM 26605, CHM 26200, or CHM 25600
Impact on Students: (Explain how students will be affected by the proposal. Benefits to students should be listed.)
The course will now be accessible to students in majors not requiring CHM 37400 Physical Chemistry II
Impact On Other Departments: (Explain how other academic departments may be affected by the proposal, and summarize any discussions with
other departments about the proposal. If adding or deleting a course, explain how other departments may be affected.)
Curriculum Proposal 1
This course will now be accessible for students in Biological Science who wish to pursue a Minor in Chemistry
Impact on University Resources: (Curriculum changes affect university resources. Explain here how instructional, lab, computer or library
resources may be affected by the proposal. It is especially important to address the possible need for additional faculty.)
none
Impact on General Education Requirements: (If the proposal fulfills or changes general education requirements in your department, explain this
here.)
