1. Chemistry, Faculty of Science (v4, p178) : Next:610-241 | Prev:610-221
Note: Credit cannot be gained for both 610-240 and 610-241.
Credit points: 12.0
Coordinator: Dr. S. P. Best
Prerequisite: 610-121 and 610-122, or 610-141 and 610-142
Corequisite: 610-260
Contact: 24 lectures (3 per week for 8 weeks), 35 hours practical work, 6 tutorials
Timetable: Second semester
Objectives:
On completion of the subject the student should:Comprehend:
- the nature of the metals and main group elements;
- how the nature of the metal and the ligand determines the observed chemistries;
- important concepts in bonding, important reactions, including redox and catalytic reactions.
Have developed:
- skills to synthesize simple inorganic molecules;
- an understanding of basic quantitative measurement;
- how to interpret and record observed chemistry.
Appreciate:
- the importance of rational, critical and independent thought in chemical science and in inorganic chemistry, in particular.
Content:
Metal chemistry: properties and reactions of metal compounds including coordination complexes and organometallic species. Main group chemistry: properties and reactions of non-metal compounds; bonding in polyatomic molecules.
Assessment:
One 3-hour written examination at the end of Semester 2. Satisfactory completion of practical work is necessary before credit can be granted for this subject.
