CHEM 610 - Atomic Theory & Bonding

This course will examine topics in atomic theory including wave-particle duality, wavefunctions, atomic spectra, quantum numbers, and the relationship between electronic structure and the periodic table. These topics will provide a foundation to explain molecular bonding. Topics of molecular bonding will include ionic and covalent bonding, electronegativity, polarizability, valence-shell-electron-pair-repulsion (VSEPR), valence-bond theory, and molecular orbitals. Student participation in discussions will lead to enhanced pedagogical skills for the secondary science teacher.Instructor’s consent.Credits: 3
