Students will build on their A level knowledge of bonding by considering key concepts of structure/bonding of relevance to molecular compounds. This module will introduce you to core principles, models and vocabulary essential for our understanding of atomic and molecular structure, physicochemical properties, chemical bonding, spectroscopy and reactions.

If you have been offered a Commonwealth supported place, your fees are set by the Australian Government for each course. We also acknowledge previous National Science Foundation support under grant numbers 1246120, 1525057, and 1413739.

Assumed knowledge We assume that you have a minimum level of knowledge in certain areas before you start this unit. The authors have adopted a new approach to the teaching of chemistry which cuts through physical, inorganic and organic chemistry as needed.PageSubPageProperty>b__1]()", "Map:_General_Chemistry_(Petrucci_et_al)" : "property get [Map MindTouch. Explain and rationalise the structures, stabilities and properties of coordination compounds in terms of factors related to the metal, ligand and metal–ligand bond. Chemical Structure and Reactivity: An Integrated Approach rises to the challenge of depicting the reality of chemistry. Whether there are merits in an integrated approach at the early stage of undergraduate learning over the more traditional later stage integration, once a certain level of competency has been reached, is a question that will continue to test lecturers.

The explanations are concise, and a lot of effort has clearly gone into the preparation of be schemes and figures, as well as careful choice of examples. The learning activities are designed to support your knowledge, understanding, problem-solving and information literacy skills in chemistry through the effective use of feedback from a variety of sources and from ongoing reflection on your progress. This module aims to introduce students to the fundamental principles of analytical, inorganic, organic and physical chemistry, and to build understanding and insight into the structure, reactivity and physicochemical properties of molecular species.Very detailed and comprehensive , with an "Online Resource Centre" and plenty of colourful images throughout the text makes this book extremely valuable. The objective of the authors, to break down the barriers used to manage the teaching of chemistry, is laudable, and they achieve their aim, particularly in the first section of the book. Together with its companion unit, CVB101 General Chemistry, this unit provides you with a foundation in the science of Chemistry. The physical chemistry component will focus on understanding the rates of reactions, and the contribution of enthalpy and entropy to reaction favourability.
