SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on preparing for CHEM 1412 (General Inorganic Chemistry 2) by reviewing essential concepts from CHEM 1411. Participants emphasize the importance of revisiting old textbooks and utilizing exam reviews to refresh knowledge. A suggestion is made to check the new school's library for resources, including the previous textbook or relevant materials. Additionally, a link to MIT's OpenCourseWare for chemistry lecture notes is provided as a supplementary resource.

PREREQUISITES
  • Familiarity with CHEM 1411 concepts and topics
  • Access to chemistry textbooks or lecture notes
  • Understanding of general inorganic chemistry principles
  • Ability to utilize online educational resources effectively
NEXT STEPS
  • Review CHEM 1411 exam materials for key concepts
  • Access MIT OpenCourseWare for General Inorganic Chemistry resources
  • Consult your new school's library for relevant textbooks
  • Identify specific topics in CHEM 1412 that build on CHEM 1411 knowledge
USEFUL FOR

Students transitioning from CHEM 1411 to CHEM 1412, educators seeking to guide students in their review, and anyone looking to strengthen their foundation in inorganic chemistry concepts.

It's been two years since I finished CHEM 1411, and I'm taking CHEM 1412 (General Inorganic Chemistry 2) this summer. What should I review specifically from 1411 to be adequately refreshed? Thanks.

Just go re-read the chapters it covered. You do keep your old textbooks, right?

I'm at a different school. I only keep my math and science textbooks.
 
Chemistry is a science, and the book was good enough for the topic the first time around. Where does the problem lie, again?

Sorry. I forgot to say I don't have the 1411 book!
 
Bummer. Have you checked whether your new school's library has a copy of your old book or the one used at the new school? (If you haven't noticed, I haven't taken inorganic chem to know what a topic list should look like, just curious about some of the more obvious review options you hadn't mentioned trying.)

Well, I do have my old exam reviews. I looked at two of them a few days ago, but there definitely were some fuzzy areas. Some things came back to mind as I was skimming through them. Obviously, I should finish looking at the exam reviews. The point of this thread was to find things specifically that are used quite a bit in 1412. Man, it's been awhile. lol.
 
Here's something else that might help if you can't turn up any books:
