The links below provide suggested exam questions and full answers covering the work for each week of the course. A full set of past exam papers, together with worked answers, is also available.
Please note that:
- You are not expected to complete these questions each week - they are provided here as an additional weekly resource and to assist you with your revision
- Despite our best efforts, there are almost certainly typos in the answers - if you suspect that an answer is wrong please contact Dr Toby Hudson who will endeavour to check and correct the answer if necessary.
The topics which are examinable are described in considerable detail in the learning outcomes and in the unit outline. When reading these, you should note that the laboratory course is self-contained: material from the lab course is assessed in the lab course and is not re-assessed in the examination. Since 2010, structure determination is assessed through the "Spectrocopy Problem Solving Assignment" and is not re-assessed in the examination.
