What is Inorganic Chemistry?

Why should we bother studying Inorganic Chemistry?
Because it is everywhere…
Medicine / pharmaceuticals
Imaging, therapy
Catalysts
Plastics, drugs, commodity chemicals
Energy technology
Batteries, solar energy, ‘cracking’ of hydrocarbons
New materials
Superconductors, semiconductors, magnetic devices, photonic materials, nanotechnology
‘Old’ materials
Cement, gypsum, marble, glass
What did you do this morning?
Got up: Alarm clock is plastic. Catalysts are metal complexes
Showered: Soap made using inorganic catalysts. Dandruff shampoos contain zinc or selenium
Got dressed: Synthetic fabric made using inorganic catalysts
Ate breakfast: Consumed some of your essential trace metals
Brushed your teeth: Stannous fluoride ‘cavity’ fighter
Drove your car: Car body is plastic and metal
CD you listened to is made by inorganic catalysts
Battery is lead-acid storage type.
Catalytic converter is Rh and Pt based
gas itself is produced using inorganic catalysts
Please add more about INORGANIC CHEMISTRY in normal life
