This module builds upon the principles and concepts introduced in Year 1. The module begins with an introduction to Molecular Symmetry and Group Theory. This is followed by a more in-depth look at the chemistry of the d-block.
Learning Outcomes
By the end of the module students should be able to:
Demonstrate an understanding of the principles and concepts associated with the material delivered in each area;
Apply their acquired knowledge and understanding to the solution of relevant problems, including unseen and numerical problems;
Apply their knowledge and understanding to rationalise observations and trends, including previously unseen data;
Demonstrate an understanding and knowledge of the synthesis, properties, structure determination, reactivity and bonding of s-, p- and d-block compounds.
