The unit has particular emphasis on atomic and molecular structure, molecular shape, and chemical bonding. An understanding is built up of organic chemistry and organic reaction mechanisms with an appreciation for the influence of acids, bases, redox reactions and pH.</div> </div></div> ILO 1.Derive the electronic structure of atoms and use Lewis notation and VSEPR theory to predict electron arrangement and molecular shape.ILO 2.Demonstrate understanding of the basics of IR spectroscopy, electrochemical and acid/base reactions.ILO 3.Use the pKa scale of relative acidities of various acids and the basicity of bases to predict the outcome of simple proton transfer processes.ILO 4.Name and draw, using various different representations, various organic molecules and their isomers.ILO 5.Draw, recognise and name 3D structures and isomers of organic molecules.ILO 6.Predict the effects of polarisation, resonance, conformation, steric interaction and ring-strain on simple organic molecules.ILO 7.Describe and predict the mechanisms for nucleophilic substitution reactions and elimination reactions and use curly arrows.  Linking the ideas from the electronic structure of the atom through to reaction mechanisms in organic chemistry. Derive and calculate molecular properties and pH values.Draw and name organic molecules and their isomers.Predict the outcome of organic reactions. Participation in the problem solving sessions and a lively discussion of the problems set will help to develops team working skills. Lectures provide fundamental aspects supporting the critical learning of the module and will be delivered as pre-recorded asynchronous short videos via our virtual learning environment.Synchronous sessions will support the lecture material with Q&A and problem-solving sessions where you can apply the new concepts. Surgery hours are also available for drop-in support.Students are expected to expand the concepts presented in the session and online by additional reading (suggested in the Online Reading List) in order to consolidate their learning process and further stimulate their interest to the module.Teaching ActivitiesLecture - 10 hours Tutorial - 16 hours Assessment (Revision/Preparation) - 30 hours Independent Study - 44 hours 0 Other 100% <figure class="table"><table class="Table" style="border-collapse:collapse;border:1.0pt solid windowtext;" width="0"><tbody><tr><td style="border:1.0pt solid windowtext;padding:0cm 5.4pt;vertical-align:top;width:276.2pt;" width="368">Assessment Types</td><td style="border-bottom-style:solid;border-color:windowtext;border-left-style:none;border-right-style:solid;border-top-style:solid;border-width:1.0pt;padding:0cm 5.4pt;vertical-align:top;width:184.25pt;" width="246">Total Weighting</td></tr><tr><td style="border-bottom-style:solid;border-color:windowtext;border-left-style:solid;border-right-style:solid;border-top-style:none;border-width:1.0pt;padding:0cm 5.4pt;vertical-align:top;width:276.2pt;" width="368">Final exam</td><td style="border-bottom:1.0pt solid windowtext;border-left-style:none;border-right:1.0pt solid windowtext;border-top-style:none;padding:0cm 5.4pt;vertical-align:top;width:184.25pt;" width="246">80%</td></tr><tr><td style="border-bottom-style:solid;border-color:windowtext;border-left-style:solid;border-right-style:solid;border-top-style:none;border-width:1.0pt;padding:0cm 5.4pt;vertical-align:top;width:276.2pt;" width="368">Online test</td><td style="border-bottom:1.0pt solid windowtext;border-left-style:none;border-right:1.0pt solid windowtext;border-top-style:none;padding:0cm 5.4pt;vertical-align:top;width:184.25pt;" width="246">20%</td></tr></tbody></table></figure> Feedback on problems and examples, feedback on coursework and exams, and model answers will also be provided through the virtual learning environment. A discussion board provides an opportunity to discuss topics related to the material presented in the module.
