Imperial College London Year 1 Chemistry

In this module you will be introduced to fundamental ideas of how structures and concepts in chemistry are represented, i.e. the language with which they are described. This includes standard chemical terminology, notation and diagrams, and use of mathematical representations in chemistry.

NMR spectroscopy, IR spectroscopy(vibrational), Microwave spectroscopy (rotational), Electronic spectroscopy in detail. Additional notes on rotational-vibrational and vibrational-electronic spectroscopies are added.

You will be able to: Explain the concepts of the las of thermodynamics. Describe key physical properties of chemical systems. Apply thermodynamic properties to make predictions about systems. Consider thermodynamic and kinetic factors when assessing the feasibility of a reaction. Describe experimen...

You will be able to: • Describe the quantisation of energy in atoms, handle mathematical representations of the Schrodinger equation and of the wavefunction to determine properties of a quantum system. • Draw atomic orbitals, describe them in terms of quantum numbers and describe them as radial...

In this module you will be taking a mechanistic approach to introductory organic chemistry and learning about the major types of reactivity at carbon centres. The module will build on previous modules such as ‘Language of Chemistry’ and incorporate kinetics and spectroscopy, where appropriate, t...
