Aims

This module provides candidates with an outline of some basic principles of inorganic aqueous chemistry and solid state structures. It also indicates how the interaction of radiation with such matter leads to spectroscopic properties widely used in analytical chemistry.

Learning Outcomes

1.
Identify the characteristics of acids, bases and materials that undergo oxidation and reduction processes.
2.
Discuss the analytical techniques that can be used for inorganic materials.
3.
Apply chemometrics and statistics to chemical processes.
4.
Discuss the structures and properties of inorganic solids.

Module Content

Outline Syllabus:Acids and bases, inorganic solids, molecular symmetry, oxidation, reduction and half equations. The basic interaction of radiation with matter, illustrated by associated analytical techniques. Chemometrics and statistics.
Module Overview:
This module provides you with an outline of the basic principles of Inorganic Aqueous Chemistry and solid state structures. It indicates how the interaction of radiation with matter leads to spectroscopic properties widely used in analytical chemistry. Through lectures, tutorials, workshops and seminars, you will also be introduced to areas underpinning the ideas of compound symmetry.
Additional Information:This module will provide a solid introduction to Inorganic Chemistry and various analytical techniques specific to this branch. Other introductory areas underpinning the ideas of compound symmetry and the interaction of radiation with matter will also be covered. The syllabus is supported by standard lectures , tutorials workshops and seminars, together with teaching materials held on Canvas and books from the standard literature. The module is assessed by one open-book comprehensive written assignment, together with one closed-book formal examination of 2 hours duration, held within 4 weeks of the module's conclusion. The pass mark is set at 40% for the whole module. There is no lower limit set for the individual components.
