Structure and Bonding (F1143)
Structure, Bonding and the Periodic Table
Module F1143
Module details for 2022/23.
15 credits
FHEQ Level 4
Module Outline
This module looks at origins of the elements and introduces students to a series of models used to describe bonding in simple molecules. Students will use basic mathematical equations and experimental techniques to develop their understanding of the structure and bonding that occurs at a molecular level and will be introduced to a range of basic spectroscopic techniques and the theory that underpins them. The module will then go on to discuss the periodic trends in the physical and chemical properties of elements, and the structures of the extended inorganic solids formed from them.
Module learning outcomes
Knowledge and interpretation of data of a range of spectroscopic techniques and the theory underpinning them
Knowledge of a series of models describing the bonding in simple inorganic molecules
Be able to manipulate basic mathematical equations as used in chemistry
Knowledge of basic periodic trends in the properties of inorganic molecules

Please note that the University will use all reasonable endeavours to deliver courses and modules in accordance with the descriptions set out here. However, the University keeps its courses and modules under review with the aim of enhancing quality. Some changes may therefore be made to the form or content of courses or modules shown as part of the normal process of curriculum management.
The University reserves the right to make changes to the contents or methods of delivery of, or to discontinue, merge or combine modules, if such action is reasonably considered necessary by the University. If there are not sufficient student numbers to make a module viable, the University reserves the right to cancel such a module. If the University withdraws or discontinues a module, it will use its reasonable endeavours to provide a suitable alternative module.
