What is Inorganic Chemistry?

I found all texts arranged like this:

Ionic compounds

Covalent compounds

AtomsAtomicstructure

MoleculesMolecular shapeMolecular bonding

Symmetry

That seems pretty straightforward.Then what?

OK, so we do one then the other...

Ionic compounds

AtomsAtomicstructure

MoleculesMolecular shapeMolecular bonding

Symmetry

Covalent compounds

Ideal lattices, Silicates,Defects / Properties, Semi-conductors,Covalent “ionic” compounds,Metals,Band structure/theory

Topics can’t be “boxed”
