Course learning outcomes
After studying this course, you should be able to:
Explain what is meant by isotopes, atomic numbers and mass numbers of the atoms of chemical elements
Indicate ways in which the chemical periodicity represented by the Periodic Table is reflected in the electronic structure of atoms
Explain how the molecular structure of chemical compounds is linked to their macroscopic properties
Construct balanced chemical equations for reactions
Use the Lewis structures of some simple chemical substances to illustrate the ideas of the octet rule, the electron-pair bond, and rationalise the three-dimensional structure of molecules.
