Explore the atomic structures and crystal properties of solid materials in this free online material science course. Have you ever wondered what makes solid materials behave the way they do? This inorganic chemistry course answers all your questions. We go through the atomic structure, crystal properties, imperfections in solids and the electrical and mechanical behaviours of materials. We then explain how materials experience fabrication, synthesis and processing in fields like civil engineering. We also explore the intriguing world beyond inorganic crystals.
