Inorganic Chemistry
The Inorganic Chemistry, Inorganic also called, is concerned with elements of chemistry, which are not produced by organic life.
Field of inorganic chemistry include the elements and compounds are non-carbon enthalten.Jedoch there are some exceptions to carbon compounds, but which have the same structure as a typical inorganic material and therefore also arranged to wird.Die inorganic inorganic substances can be divided into several groups of substances: metals and metalloids, salts, non-metal compounds, complexes and clusters.
Among the metals, which make up about 80% of the periodic table, including for example, iron and sodium, which are also typical of the conductivity of heat and electricity. Half-metals have metallic and nonmetallic properties, so they are also among the metals and nonmetals, these include silicon and Germanium.Salze consist of cations (positively charged) and anions (negatively charged) which are constructed ionic. There are very few non-metal compounds of these include water (H2O). Complexes are transition metals such as nickel and cobalt which are often colored.
From the compounds can often make money but not a sum formula and these formulas are also constructed mostly of small and a few atoms. Clusters, however, are compounds of metals and nonmetals are located between the small non-metals and the large metallic solids.
Inorganic Reactions in Chemistry
The most important reactions in inorganic chemistry are the redox reactions and acid-base reactions that respond to a balance and are also fast, in organic chemistry, the reaction developed more slowly. In redox reactions means that electrons are transferred from one partner to the other reactants. It is often true that elements of compounds. The oxyhydrogen reaction (a distinction between negative and positive oxygen-hydrogen samples) of hydrogen and oxygen into water is the best known redox reaction.
The acid-base reaction protons are transferred. This is the acid has a proton to the base (also known as lye) from. In this reaction usually is water and salt. The most famous reaction is the compound with hydrochloric acid with sodium hydroxide to sodium chloride and water. These reactions occur rapidly and can be closely examined with an indicator, which are favorable for the analytical chemistry today. At high temperatures but can also break down compounds, because this gas escape.
