This module consists of six main strands, each of which is based on the theoretical foundations of the previous strand. The strands are closely interrelated, and each is supported by a series of tutorials, applied assignments and other activities to understand and acquire the necessary knowledge. The detailed module plan can be accessed via the online module by clicking on Detailed plan. 🙂
1) General overview of subject structure:
This includes a definition of the basic principles of the structure of matter, starting with matter, the molecule and the atom, as well as the fundamental laws of all chemical reactions. It includes the fundamental laws of all chemical reactions.
2) Components of the atom:
In this section, students discover the most important elements that make up the atom of a chemical element (electron, electron, neutron). The most important components of the atom of a chemical element (electron, electron, proton and neutron), and how scientists, through various experiments, have discovered them and determined their properties (mass, charge, etc.).
3) Radioactivity and nuclear reactions:
It is important to demonstrate the radioactivity of unstable nuclei and the various nuclear reactions that ensue.
4) Electronic structure of the hydrogen atom and wave mechanics:
This module deals with the most important theories adopted by Bohr and his successors concerning the structure of the simplest chemical element and compares the models with each other.
In this section, we also highlight the duality of the wave-particle energy property, its importance in the modern model of the atom and its relevance to Schrödinger's theory. We'll also look at its relationship with Schrödinger's theory.
5) Electronic structure of multi-electron atoms and periodic classification of the elements:
This module applies the modern model of the atom to various chemical elements, deriving the electronic structure of the atom, some of their properties and the periodic classification of the elements. This is followed by applications in the form of exercises, questions and investigations related to each of these units.
6) Chemical bonds:
In the final chapter of this module on chemical bonds and their types, we study how compounds are represented in space.
