This unit develops the introduction to inorganic chemistry given in CHEM10005 to provide the essential base of inorganic chemistry required for advanced study at Levels 6 and 7 (Years 3 and 4). It covers the main areas of the subject required for chemical physics students emphasising physical principles e.g. main group chemistry materials chemistry and applications of NMR spectroscopy and an introduction to group theory.
Teaching will be delivered through a blended combination of synchronous and asynchronous sessions. Synchronous sessions include lecture style and interactive delivery and workshops. Workshops will in particular provide opportunity for live interaction with groups of students, feedback on exercises set as independent study and preparation for forthcoming material. There will be associated asynchronous activity involving independent study, problem solving and self-directed exercises. Synchronous revision sessions as well as drop-in clinics will be offered.
Materials' Coursework which will include an online quiz and a set of asynchronous tasks based on the lectures. (50%) End-of-TB2 timed open-book examination (50%)
