Reactivity of the Elements (F1168)
Reactivity of the Elements
Module F1168
Module details for 2022/23.
15 credits
FHEQ Level 4
Module Outline
Chemical and Electrochemical Reactivity of the Elements provides an overview of the chemistry of all of the elements and interprets the observed chemical behaviour at both the microscopic level, in terms of fundamental atomic properties, and the macroscopic level, in terms of thermodynamics and electrochemistry. For each element, the trends in molecular, solution phase and solid state behaviour is given, together with archetypal reactions.
Module learning outcomes
Describe the general trends that are observed in the chemistry of the elements and explain and describe the fundamental reasons for these trends.
Interpret data or observations in light of these trends.
Show an understanding of basic electrochemical principles.
Provide an overview of the chemical behaviour of s- and p-block elements.
