[1] This material is review. It will not be presented as a formal lecture; however, you are responsible for the reading and problems!
[2] The section on Coordination compounds includes readings from other texts. Material in Chapter 9, "Structures & Isomers" will be covered as a self-directed group problem set. A class decision just before break will determine which chapter(s) we’ll cover in the last three weeks: 11, 12 13 or 16.
