some people were interested in the questions that my inorganic chemistry quiz had. it was 21 multiple choice questions and i typed up some of the questions/answers.


+ Show Spoiler +
1) how many electrons are there around the metal in the tiny piano stool complex )(c4h4)ru(co)3? 18

2)in a migratory insertion reaction: an alkyl group moves to attack a cis ligand with a double bond and adds to it.

3) some fischer carbenes, such as imidazoylidenes are stabilized by: adjacent hetero atoms that can donate pi-electron density into the formally empty p-orbital of the carbene.

4) which of the following metal hydrides would you expect to be the most acidic? HNb(CO)6

5) an agostic bond: describes a bond between a c-h hydrogen to a nearby metal center formed by the h dfonating its bonded pair to form a m-h bond.

6) an organometallic complex with ethylene exhibits an ethylene c-c bond of 1.53A. The bondin most likely involves which one of the following: extensive backdonation from a metal d-orbital into the pi star of the ethylene.


Chill edit: Whoa brah why am I banned from your blog?

i got a 17/21 which was good for a 91th percentile :D

if people are interested, ill post the rest of the questions, but for now, i have finals to study for.

This is why I feel chemistry/bio majors have it easier than engineers. You just have to memorize processes and terms without actually knowing any useful thinking skills.

I would GLADLY work with them though.

No that's biology major. Chemical E is a lot of using stuff without knowing why it actually works as well. Chemistry majors should know the theory, but his professor is just terrible as he described him to be. I hope inorganic isn't as lame as the impression I got from the quiz -_-.

Inorganic is definitly a lot about route memorization, it's hard to talk about trends in properties and reactions if you can't refer to examples =p
That said, people who aren't very good at chemistry often thinks it's alot more about memorization than it really is. Intuition and understanding of the fundamental concepts really gets you a long way even when it comes to more descriptive topics like organometallics or transition metal chemistry.
Then there are topics like symmetry, bonding, crystallography, all of phys chem, and the majority of organic as well, where memorization won't really help you at all.
