The aim of this module is to give students an understanding of the underlying principles of the chemistry of the main-group elements and to give them an appreciation of the importance of inorganic chemistry in everyday life.
A discuss the principle of atomic and molecular electronic structure, and the three-dimensional shape of molecules B show understanding of acid-base theories and redox equilibria C discuss the chemistry of main group elements and compounds, including oxides, hydroxides, halides, and hydrides D describe the structures of simple solids E demonstrate basic knowledge of the structure and reactivity of organometallic compounds of the main group elements
