1. Chemistry, Faculty of Science (v4, p180) : Next:610-399 | Prev:610-360
Credit points: 10.0
Coordinator: Dr. K. P. Ghiggino
Prerequistes: 4 core subjects of 200-level Chemistry
Contact: 26 lectures (2 per week)
Timetable: First semester
Objectives:
On completion of this subject students should:Comprehend:
- the basic principles of spectroscopy - atomic, molecular, electronic, nuclear - and mass spectrometry;
- the basic instrumental design for obtaining such spectra;
- the application of these forms of spectroscopy to chemical problems;
- the difference in synthesis and properties of high molecular weight compounds with those of small molecules;
- the variety of polymeric materials, natural and synthetic polymers, carbon-based and non-carbon-based.
Have developed:
- skills to solve chemical problems by spectroscopic techniques;
- skills to characterize polymer molecular weight and propose mechanisms of polymerizations.
Appreciate:
- the importance of rational, critical and independent thought in the understanding of chemical spectroscopy and high polymers
- the applications and importance of spectroscopic methods and polymeric materials.
Content:
Polymers (13 lectures) - natural and synthetic polymers; classification and characterization; step-growth and chain-growth polymerization; silicones, silicates and zeolites.Spectroscopy (13 lectures) - Principles and applications of IR and UV/V spectroscopy. Theory and practice of NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry.
Assessment:
One 3-hour examination at the end of Semester 1.
