Module Aims
|
To develop an understanding of the basic concepts of chemistry, including the structure of atoms, electronic configuration, and orbital shapes. To understand the relationship between electronic configuration and chemical properties. To develop an appreciation of the chemical bond, both ionic and covalent. To understand the general trends in the reactivity of the elements and the compounds of carbon
|
|
Learning Outcomes
|
The students should be able to:
7 Derive the electronic structure of the elements.
7 Estimate the chemical properties of the elements based on their position in the periodic table.
7 Estimate the bond-order for simple diatomic molecules.
