This module continues to apply the principles and concepts delivered in pre-requisite modules (LC Inorganic Chemistry I, LI Inorganic Chemistry IIa, LI Inorganic Chemistry IIb and LH Inorganic Chemistry IIIa) to a number of topical areas in inorganic chemistry. The topics covered in this module include band theory, properties and uses of solid-state materials and an overview of chemistry of the f-block metals.
Learning Outcomes
By the end of the module students should be able to:
Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the (advanced) principles and concepts associated with the material delivered in each area;
Apply their acquired knowledge to rationalise observations and to solve relevant unseen problems;
Appreciate the breadth of inorganic chemistry, through exposure to a number of topical subject areas.
