Aims |
|
This module aims to demonstrate the underlying importance of symmetry throughout Chemistry, with particular applications to spectroscopic selection rules and bonding. |
Learning Outcomes |
|
(LO1) By the end of the module, students should be able to: Identify symmetry elements in molecules Assign molecules to their correct point groups Use character tables to solve a variety of problems in spectroscopy and bonding |

Teaching and Learning Strategies |
|
Theory content will be presented as asynchronous short lecture recordings. Each recording will be accompanied by simple example problems to reinforce the lecture content. There will be 6 x 1.5 hr in-person workshops in which students will tackle more demanding problems with the support of tutors. |
