Clayton Second semester 2007 (Day)
Atomic theory of matter; chemical periodicity; ionic, covalent and metallic bonding; role of intermolecular forces in the behaviour of liquids and solids in relation the structure and properties of materials like liquid crystals, amorphous solids and polymers; Equilibria involving precipitation, acid-base, redox and electrochemical reactions and their role in acid rain and corrosion; Coordination chemistry and the nature and properties of the transition metals and their complexes. Practical exercises are illustrative of the theory component and provide experience in laboratory techniques and laboratory OHSE practices.
