Course overview
In this course students will develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills in both theory-focussed workshops and practical based laboratory activities, in addition to technical laboratory skills, focussing on developing an understanding of core aspects of both inorganic and physical chemistry.
Course learning outcomes
- Apply knowledge of quantum phenomena, kinetics and thermodynamics, molecular symmetry and metal-ligand chemistry to conceptual and quantitative problems
- Demonstrate proficiency in accurately representing chemical structures, formulae and equations
- Analyse, interpret and present the results of preparative and measurement-based laboratory experiments conducted using appropriate apparatus, techniques and safe laboratory practices
- Communicate results of laboratory experiment in written scientific reports
