(LO1) By the end of the module, students should be able to identify symmetry elements in molecules |
|
(LO2) By the end of the module, students should be able to assign molecules to their correct point groups |
|
(LO3) By the end of the module, students should be able to use character tables to solve a variety of problems in spectroscopy and bonding |
Teaching and Learning Strategies |
|
This module consists of 10 formal lectures and 6 supporting 1-hour workshop sessions. New material will be presented in lectures and students will apply this material in structured problem sessions. |
