This module deals with core aspects of Physical and Inorganic
Chemistry. The module content includes theories of reaction rates at
the molecular level, surface chemistry, inorganic reaction mechanisms
and inorganic solid-state chemistry.
2 hours lectures
|
This module aims to develop the principles of Inorganic and Physical Chemistry and spectroscopy introduced at Level II and covers basic solid-state and surface chemistry, together with an introduction to heterogeneous catalysis.
|
Understand systematically and evaluate critically the chemical, physical and structural properties of various micro- and mesoporous materials and solid surfaces.
Communicate effectively how defects in solid structures can affect the properties of bulk materials.
Evaluate critically methods for analysis of solid materials and surfaces and apply these principles to solve problems.
Understand systematically and communicate effectively the principles of heterogeneous catalysis using appropriate examples from the forefront of the topic.
