CHEM1405 - This Week's Resources
Topics and Learning Outcomes
The Periodic Table
recognize trends in the Periodic Table, such as in ionic radii
understand and explain reasons for those trends
use trends to predict reactivity
Introduction to Atomic Structure
list the particles that make up atoms, their symbols and their relative masses and charges
recognise how relative atomic masses are derived
calculate relative molar mass for any substance
understand the difference between a Bohr model and quantum mechanical model of an atom
understand the relationship between the four quantum numbers and electron configuration
explain the meaning of the orbital quantum numbers, n , l , m , and the designation of orbitals such as 1s , 3d , 4p , 4f
determine the electron configuration of an element from its position in the Periodic Table
recognise whether an element is a metal, non-metal or semi-metal from its position in the Periodic Table
The Biological Periodic Table
list important building blocks of living organisms
identify essential, toxic and medicinal elements
explain the functioning of metals in the body
think about the consequences of the properties of elements for drug design
