Course description

This course explores the fundamental concepts of atomic structure and chemical bonding. Topics include quantum mechanical models of the atom, electronic configurations, periodic trends, and different types of chemical bonds. Students will gain insights into molecular geometry, hybridization, and intermolecular forces. The course also covers bonding theories such as valence bond theory and molecular orbital theory. Practical applications in materials science and chemistry are emphasized.

What will i learn?

• The student will acquire knowledge in the structure, bonding, and hybridisation of different compounds, their periodic properties and the quantum mechanical aspect.
• Study and compare between various theories of atomic structure and chemical bonding.
• Improved experimental and theoretical knowledge by doing experiments
