This unit builds on first year chemistry units and consolidates the theoretical and practical framework required by students who intend to major in chemistry or who need additional chemistry to support their studies in other science areas. The inorganic chemistry topic covers the synthesis and properties of inorganic and organometallic compounds (especially transition metal coordination complexes and organometallic chemistry of the main group metals), with an underlying emphasis on modern techniques used to determine chemical structures and contemporary properties of inorganic compounds. Reaction mechanisms are studied in depth through both physical and computational chemistry topics that provide the necessary background in kinetics, thermodynamics, photochemistry, electrochemistry, molecular orbital theory and molecular modelling required to study and understand reaction mechanisms. The laboratory program reinforces concepts introduced in lectures and gives students experience in good laboratory practice.
Students who would like to do this unit but have a timetable problem with lectures, tutorials or laboratory work should consult the unit coordinator.
This unit together with KRA223 and KRA224 comprise the three 200 level Chemistry units leading to a major in Chemistry. The Royal Australian Chemical Institute recommends that all three of these units be completed in order to join the Institute as a member.
Units are offered in attending mode unless otherwise indicated (that is attendance is required at the campus identified). A unit identified as offered by distance, that is there is no requirement for attendance, is identified with a nominal enrolment campus. A unit offered to both attending students and by distance from the same campus is identified as having both modes of study.
Campus - H Hobart, L Launceston, W Burnie. Study Centre - V Sydney, R Rozelle. Distance units may also have a campus identifier of I Isolated, N Interstate, O Overseas. Units delivered in Transnational Education (TNE) Programs have a campus identifier of A Hangzhou, F Fuzhou, G Shanghai, J Indonesia, K KDU Malaysia, Q Kuwait or Z New Zealand.
Special approval is required for enrolment into TNE Program units - campuses A, F, G, J, K, Q and Z click here for more information.
