Description:
In general, inorganic chemistry has application in every aspect of the chemical industry including (but not limited to): catalysis, materials science, commodity chemical production, pigments and dyes, surfactants, coatings, fine and specialty chemical manufacture, medicine, petroleum, environmental, and agriculture. With such a broad range of application, the modern inorganic chemist must be more interdisciplinary rather than narrowly focused, and have a solid background in bonding, valence, and orbital theories. This background will enable a chemist to integrate their knowledge towards problem solving and be more flexible in today's job market.
