Cursusdoelen
  • Describe the electronic structure of atoms and explain the structure of the periodic table.
  • Explain and predict molecular bonding and molecular properties using various qualitative and quantum-mechanical models and concepts.
  • Describe the different basic interactions between molecules on the basis of their molecular and electronic structures.
  • Is aware of the significance of transition metals in chemical processes on an industrial scale and in the laboratory, and in a biological context.
Inhoud
In this course, a first insight is given into how chemical bonds in molecules can be described. First the question will be addressed of what quantum mechanics (in qualitative terms) learns us about the electronic structure of atoms and how this knowledge can be used to understand and predict the bonds between atoms, molecular properties and the interactions between molecules. After successfully completing this course, the student is able to use various practical models, both simple and advanced, in the prediction and explanation of chemical bonds and molecular structure. The student can indicate all interactions that can possibly exist between molecules and understands the special role of transition metals in chemical and biological processes.
