A course of approximately thirty lectures in inorganic chemistry, sixty lectures in organic chemistry and sixty lectures in physical chemistry, with laboratory work and demonstrations throughout the year.
SYLLAВus.
(i) Inorganic Chemistry. Complex formation; structural inorganic chemistry;
the metallic state and intermetallic compounds ; chemical reactions of solids;
radiochemistry.
(ii) Organic Chemistry. An advanced treatment of the chemistry of aliphatic and aromatic systems, including alicyclic and heterocyclic systems. The chemistry of natural products. The mechanisms of organic reactions. The stereochemistry of carbon compounds.
(iii) Physical Chemistry. Thermodynamics, electrochemistry, kinetics of chemical reactions, photochemistry and free radicle reactions, spectroscopy, atomic and molecular structure, surface chemistry, ion exchange.
(iv) Laboratory Work. A minimum of twenty-four hours per week on experi- ments dealing with qualitative and quantitative analysis, inorganic and organic ; pre- paration of pure substances ; physico-chemical measurements.
The apparatus used in the course is supplied by the Chemistry Department;
a deposit must be paid and evidence of payment must be produced before practical classes begin (see p. 18).
Students are required to provide themselves with an approved box of analytical weights.
