Inorganic chemistry is the study of the synthesis, structure and behavior of inorganic or organometallic compounds. Almost every sector of the chemical industry makes use of inorganic chemistry, including catalysis, materials science, paints and pigments, surfactants, coatings, medicines, fuels and plastics. Inorganic chemists work in academic research, the geosciences, and the mining, semiconductor and environmental science industries. A bachelor's degree is the minimum qualification for almost any career in inorganic chem, and most research and product development positions will require a master's or doctorate degree.
