Chemistry - Inorganic and Materials Chemistry
|
Inorganic and materials chemistry is concerned with aspects of the
chemistry of elements from across the periodic table. The topics
covered range from bonding models, chemical structure and
mechanism of s, p, d and f-block elements, to applications of new
materials in the 21st century.

Students who complete this stream will understand:
- chemical bonding, symmetry elements and point groups in molecules
- the rules that describe the elements of a group in the periodic table
- the chemical and physical basis of new technologically important
materials such as 'intelligent' window coatings, and chemistry in extreme
environmentsÂ
- how to synthesise materials and characterise the properties of materials using spectroscopy in the laboratory
|
The Inorganic Chemistry Stream is normally combined with Condensed Matter Physics to give an understanding of solid materials
