Chemical Structure and Reactivity: An Integrated Approach

Product Information

The content is carefully formulated with regard to the text and illustrations, both helping to explain some of the more challenging aspects of the topics covered in the first section of the book. Online Resource Centre:For students:· Custom developed multimedia content linked to the book, enabling students to investigate the concepts and phenomena presented in the book in a fully interactive way. As the title promises, the authors do away with traditional demarcations of chemistry and provide a truly integrated approach, cutting across the fields many disciplines as and when required. Offering a fresh approach to undergraduate teaching, it depicts the subject as a seamless discipline, showing how organic, inorganic, and physical concepts can be blended together to achieve the common goal of understanding chemical systems.

The book adopts a two-part structure allowing complete flexibility of use: a series of core concepts covered in Part 1 leads into a suite of further topics in Part 2, from which the instructor can select to match their particular course. James Keeler is Senior Tutor in the Department of Chemistry and Selwyn College at the University of Cambridge. In the first book Keeler and Wothers wrote together, Why chemical reactions happen, they used, to great effect, an integrated approach to explain chemical reaction phenomena to early stage undergraduates.

Education in Chemistry, 2009 * Review from previous edition This is the most innovative and impressive undergraduate chemistry textbook I have been exposed to in years; it is quite outstanding in its creative and imaginative approach.

The book finishes with a chapter on mathematics, providing a discussion of the more complex treatments removed from the first section.While often fragmented into the strands of inorganic, organic, and physical chemistry, a full understanding of chemistry can only be gained by seeing the subject as a single, unified whole. Offering a fresh approach to undergraduate teaching, it depicts the subject as a seamless discipline, showing how inorganic, organic and physical concepts can be blended together to achieve the common goal of understanding chemical systems. Students will build on their A level knowledge of bonding by considering key concepts of structure/bonding of relevance to molecular compounds. Prerequisites To enrol in this unit, you must have completed these prerequisite units (or have credit, advanced standing or exemption for them), or be able to demonstrate that you have equivalent background knowledge.

You will develop your ability to apply theoretical knowledge and critical thinking to solving chemical problems. Provide mechanistic rationalisations for reactions of coordination complexes, including biological coordination complexes. Further information for domestic and international students about tuition and other fees can be found at Fees.

For each isoelectronic sequence, we construct a regularized perturbative series based on the large-Z (heavy cations) and Z ≈ N – 1 (singly charged anion) behaviors. The coverage in the second section is high quality too and, though the topics are separated along more traditional lines, there is a greater sense of the integration of knowledge required to gain a full understanding of undergraduate chemistry.
