SCCHM1003 Inorganic Chemistry
This course introduces students to the principles and practices of inorganic chemistry. On completion of SCCHM1003, students will have gained an understanding of atomic structure, physical and chemical properties of main groups of elements, as well as investigate the unique properties of transition metals. The concept of symmetry and lattice forms will be introduced including application to crystallography and mineralogy. This course introduces students to important chemical and physical properties of minerals. Understanding the processes which occur in atomic nuclei and why some of the nuclei are radioactive will be part of this course. The concepts developed within lectures and tutorials are complemented through a laboratory program where students will have the opportunity to develop laboratory techniques and solve a range of chemical problems.
Commonwealth supported place (CSP)
A CSP is subsidised by the Australian Government and students pay a contribution amount. Each unit is classified into a band, depending on the study area of the unit (this discipline may be different from the study area of your course).
2025 contribution amount* $1,164
2025 grandfathered contribution amount* $1,164
Grandfathered contribution amount - if you are a continuing student, who commenced your course before 1 January 2021, you will continue paying the same amount as you would have, had legislative reforms not been implemented, for any units that would otherwise have an increased student contribution amount.
* For Clinical Psychology & Professional Pathways bands the unit fee amount is determined by accredited courses. Students in Postgraduate Clinical Psychology, Professional Pathway Psychology or Professional Pathway Social Work accredited courses should refer to the information below.
