What is the correct manner of studying inorganic chemistry?

AI Thread Summary
Studying inorganic chemistry involves understanding that it has its own unique logic, distinct from organic and physical chemistry. While organic chemistry is often viewed as more logical due to its structured reactions and mechanisms, inorganic chemistry also possesses a form of logic that is essential for grasping its concepts. The key to mastering inorganic chemistry lies in recognizing and adapting to its specific principles rather than trying to apply organic chemistry logic to it. This understanding can help alleviate the perception that inorganic chemistry is merely a collection of facts, emphasizing the importance of grasping the underlying concepts and relationships within the field.

What is the correct manner of studying inorganic chemistry?

What is the correct manner of studying inorganic chemistry?
I mean physical chemistry is like physics and has a lot of logic ,
organic chemistry is the mother of all logics ,

But WHAT ABOUT INORGANIC CHEMISTRY ? are there any logics in it too ,
i started liking chemistry after doing organic , but do i have to learn all the facts without any logic in inorganic chem or is there some hidden logic ?
this question seems similar to the ongoing discussion about "Why chemistry is so difficult ? , but it is not , i just want to know about INORGANIC chemistry !

That's the first time I see someone stating organic chemistry has its logic, while inorganic has not. I have seen numerous people claiming exactly the opposite - organic chemistry has no logic, while inorganic is logical...

The answer is - there is kind of a logic here and here, they are just different logics. Trying to apply one to the other world won't work.

I want to test a humidity sensor with one or more saturated salt solutions. The table salt that I have on hand contains one of two anticaking agents, calcium silicate or sodium aluminosilicate. Will the presence of either of these additives (or iodine for that matter) significantly affect the equilibrium humidity? I searched and all the how-to-do-it guides did not address this question. One research paper I found reported that at 1.5% w/w calcium silicate increased the deliquescent point by...
