Additional Course Outline Information

Academic integrity

The University has strict guidelines regarding ‘dishonest practice’ and ‘breach of instructions’ in relation to the completion and submission of examinable material. In cases where dishonest practice or breach of instructions is involved in tests or other work submitted for credit a department may (i) decline to award a grade, or (ii) deduct marks; or (iii) resolve the matter in any other appropriate way (p 49 and 50 of the 2012 UC Calendar under the regulation J).  

The Department of Chemistry upholds this policy. It considers plagiarism, collusion, copying, and ghost writing to be unacceptable and dishonest practices.

Notes

Goal of the Course
To build on principles from first year chemistry in developing an understanding of fundamental principles of chemical bonding, the theory and methods of analytical chemistry and chemical periodicity and materials. This course will provide a solid foundation for further study in all aspects of chemistry.


Learning Outcomes
• a broad understanding of atomic theory and bonding theories that can be applied to diatomic and larger molecules
• an understanding of the basis of the periodic table, the periodic properties of the elements, p-block chemistry and the structures and properties of solids
• an  ability to explain chemical concepts and to apply them to account for and predict molecular and material properties
• knowledge of modern analytical techniques, the chemistry behind them, and how they can be applied to solve chemical problems
