Fundamentals of Chemistry A is a core second year chemistry subject. Students are introduced to the principles and applications associated with the instrumental techniques of mass spectrometry, NMR spectroscopy, infrared spectroscopy, and ultraviolet / visible spectroscopy. These techniques are routinely used by chemists to identify and characterise chemical species. Students will also be introduced to inorganic and coordination chemistry, and study important trends in the reactivity of the elements. Learning activities include lectures, tutorials, online learning activities, workshops and laboratory classes.
