3 60% Midterms 30% Final 10% Term paper (chemistry graduate students only) PRAC TIC E PROBLEM SE TS These will be handed out approximately every two weeks. Answer keys will be handed out afterwards for you to check out your work. In the past, such problem sets were graded by a TA assigned to the course and credit was given for your work. The CSE Dean s office decided that low enrollment graduate courses (fewer than 20 students) cannot have an assigned TA, so unfortunately no credit can be allowed for this work. If you do a conscientious job, you should be rewarded with good scores on the examinations. There may also be a quiz on the periodic table.* You should learn the names (correctly spelled), symbols and positions of all elements, except atomic numbers and above 92. * See last page for a practice P.T. quiz! TE NTATIV E COU RS E OU TL I NE A ND REA DI NG AS SI GNME NTS I N H & S NOTE: It is assumed that all of you have had introductory (junior/senior level) courses in inorganic and physical chemistry, so elementary aspects of atomic and molecular structure, ligand field theory, thermodynamics and kinetics (rate laws, activation barriers, etc.) will not be discussed in any detail. The following course outline is tentative and subject to change! Note that there is no necessary correlation between reading assignments and lecture material during a given week! Also, the examinations will emphasize mainly topics from lectures, handouts and problem sets, so you should focus on those portions of H & S that are most relevant to lecture, handout, and problem set content! Finally, be sure to take good lecture notes and attend every lecture since much of the lecture material will emphasize topics either not covered in Housecroft and Sharpe or discussed in a different context or time sequence. Week Topics Reading (H&S, 3 rd Ed., page numbers in parentheses)* *Readings in H&S, 4 th Ed., are for the most part identical, with exceptions noted in brackets. 1 (Jan 17, 19) Lewis structures, electronegativities, Ch 1 ( 1.1, 1.8 (periodic VSEPR, synthesis and reactions of table), 1.10) Bromine fluorides, [BrF x ] z, or VSEPR Ch 2 ( , 2.4, 2.5, in Action. 2.6, 2.8, 2.9) Ch 3( 3.11 Inorganic NMR [4 th Ed., Ch 4, 4.8] 3
