Prerequisites

There are no pre-requisites for this module to be added

Description of module content:

The module will develop your knowledge and understanding of atomic structure, specifically you'll take a deeper look at the electronic structure of the elements and how this influences their properties periodically. This will lead into an exploration of intra and intermolecular bonding and how it influences the properties of materials. Your understanding of equilibria will be developed through study of dynamic equilibria within chemical reactions and within solutions. You will also develop your mathematical understanding of reaction kinetics.

Learning Outcomes for module:

Upon completion of this module you will be able to

LO1: Demonstrate a discerning understanding of a defined range of core theories, concepts, principles and terminology in bonding, structure and reactions

LO2: Demonstrate an understanding of the links between bonding, structure and properties of substances

LO3: Undertake a critical evaluation of your knowledge of bonding, structure and reactions for teaching chemistry
