Chemical Structure and Reactivity: An Integrated Approach

Product Information

For lecturers:· Fully worked solutions to the exercises available through the Online Resource Centre. The explanations are concise, and a lot of effort has clearly gone into the preparation of be schemes and figures, as well as careful choice of examples. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) database on ionization potentials for neutral atoms and ions is examined. In the first book Keeler and Wothers wrote together, Why chemical reactions happen, they used, to great effect, an integrated approach to explain chemical reaction phenomena to early stage undergraduates.

Whether there are merits in an integrated approach at the early stage of undergraduate learning over the more traditional later stage integration, once a certain level of competency has been reached, is a question that will continue to test lecturers.

These fundamental principles are applied: to explain trends in chemical reactivity; to rationalise chemical reactions based on mechanism and molecular structure; and to explore the rates, energetics and feasibilities of chemical processes. Students will be set regular short tasks with actionable feedback comments and templates for reflection and actions.Understand two and three dimensional organic molecular structures, their origins and their physical, chemical and biological properties. The type of exam and the use of a qualifying mark reflects the need to meet RSC accreditation requirements related to threshold concepts in chemistry. The outcome of this debate will decide whether this type of book joins others as an available course resource or replaces them. The authors appear to have stood back and re-thought the whole approach to teaching chemistry at this level.

ANU utilises MyTimetable to enable students to view the timetable for their enrolled courses, browse, then self-allocate to small teaching activities / tutorials so they can better plan their time.With a lively and engaging writing style augmented throughout by purpose-drawn illustrations, and custom-developed online support, Chemical Structure and Reactivity makes taking an integrated approach in the teaching of chemistry a realistic proposition for the first time. Rather an expensive text book but if you intend to study chemistry at University level then it is well worth it. Biography: James Keeler is Senior Tutor in the Department of Chemistry and Selwyn College at the University of Cambridge.

Co-requisites To enrol in this unit, you must have already completed these co-requisite units, or you must enrol in them at the same time. Further information for domestic and international students about tuition and other fees can be found at Fees. This module will introduce you to core principles, models and vocabulary essential for our understanding of atomic and molecular structure, physicochemical properties, chemical bonding, spectroscopy and reactions. Dr David McGarvey, Keele University The objective of the authors, to break down the barriers used to manage the teaching of chemistry, is laudable, and they achieve their aim, particularly in the first section of the book.Online Resource Centre: For students: * Custom developed multimedia content linked to the book, enabling students to investigate the concepts and phenomena presented in the book in a fully interactive way. The book adopts a two-part structure allowing complete flexibility of use: a series of core concepts covered in Part 1 leads into a suite of further topics in Part 2, from which the instructor can select to match their particular course. Work to a professional level of skills in a chemical laboratory demonstrating effective laboratory safety and etiquette, especially in the areas of handling of chemicals and usage of lab-based glassware and equipment.
