CHEMISTRY 2P32 WINTER TERM 2015 Instructor: Principles of Inorganic Chemistry Dr. M. Pilkington Rm. CRN 410; Phone: 3403 email: [email protected] website: www.mpilkington.com Office Hours: Tues -Thurs 10 am -12 pm Availability: I am available outside office hours. Students can email me at any time to schedule an appointment. I check my email regularly and will respond within 24 hours. Senior Demonstrator: Roger McLaughlin email: [email protected] Rm: CRN 514; Phone: 6109 2P32 Homepage: http://www.mpilkington.com/Teaching.html Please use my website to access important information for the lecture component of this course. Lab. information will be posted on SAKAI. Labs start this week, if you have a conflict see the senior demonstrator. Course Materials: Textbook: Glen E. Rodgers, Introduction to Coordination, Solid State, and Descriptive Inorganic Chemistry (Third Edition). Lab Manual Model kit is required. There can be model-building questions on exams. Complimentary Reading and Reference: Catherine E. Housecroft and Alan G. Sharpe, Inorganic Chemistry. (This is also the suggested text for the third year Inorganic Chemistry Course). Labs: Labs begin this week. If you have taken CHEM 2P32 previously and have achieved an overall grade of “B” or better (more than 70%) in the labs, you may use your previous lab. mark for the lab component of CHEM 2P32 this year. If you did not achieve a “B” or better in your lab work, you must retake the labs. If you have a problem with the scheduling of your lab. Please contact Roger McLaughlin. Assignments There will be approximately 10 assignments due every Tuesday, starting Tuesday the 13th of January, 2014. Assignments will be collected by Dr. Pilkington immediately after class. No time extensions will be given. Late or mislaid assignments will be penalized. Make sure you put your name and Brock ID number on your assignment. Penalties for Late Submission of Assignments Missed assignments cannot be made up. It is departmental policy that the student will loose 10% of the mark for each day past the deadline. Assignments handed in more than five days after the deadline will not be accepted. Library Reserve 1 CHEMISTRY 2P32 WINTER TERM 2015 Copies of readings for the course are on reserve in the library, along with copies of previous exams. Additional material is available through the CHEM 2P32 Website. Class Attendance Regular attendance to the lecture component of this course is rewarded. 10% of the marks are assigned for regular attendance. Attendance will be monitored via a signature sheet passed around at the beginning of each lecture. A head count will be taken to make sure the number of signatures matches the number of students in the class. Those students caught signing for absent friends will be awarded a zero for attendance. Students will need to attend at least 29 out of the 34 classes to receive a mark. No part marks will be given, students will receive the full 10% or a zero. Course Assessment and Evaluation The breakdown is as follows: Class Attendance 10% Assignments 15% Labs 15% Test 10% Midterm exam 15% Final Exam 35% The assignments are all weighted equally. Periodic tables will be provided and students should bring their own model kits and calculators for the tests and final exam. Students will receive the marks for 4 assignments and the first test one week before the deadline for withdrawal without penalty. Important Departmental Policies: You must achieve at least 35% on the final examination in order to pass the course. You must complete all the labs for the course. A lab is not complete until a lab report has been turned in. The lab. component of this course is not complete until you have turned in your notebook to your demonstrator by the specified date at the end of term. Missed Labs or Tests: If you miss a lab because of illness, please submit a medical certificate to the course instructor or to the senior demonstrator. You will either be excused from that piece of work or required to make it up at a mutually convenient time to be scheduled. You may also request to be excused from a lab for certain reasons other than illness, such as a death in the immediate family. If you miss a scheduled exam, you will need to provide a medical certificate or other valid reason (including documentation) for not writing the exam and a makeup exam will be set. Students who do not have valid reasons for missing an exam will be given a zero on the exam. 2 CHEMISTRY 2P32 WINTER TERM 2015 Final examinations are administered by the Registrar's Office and exam regulations are available elsewhere. Note that it is your responsibility to carefully read the exam timetable and to be in the right place at the right time for examinations. Since exam timetables can be changed up to shortly before the exam period, be sure that you have seen the final timetable, not just the earlier tentative one. Excuses such as "I showed up for the examination in the afternoon but found that it had been given in the morning" are not normally accepted. Course Goals and Objectives: To demonstrate that inorganic chemistry is not just the study of elements and compounds, but also the study of physical principles. Although inorganic chemistry is in the broadest sense the chemistry of all elements except carbon, the objectives of this course are to demonstrate that there are many overlaps between other branches of science that include physical chemistry and biology. The course goal is to convince students that inorganic chemistry is a broad interdisciplinary subject with many diverse applications that although often understated and invisible do impact their everyday lives. A major objective wherever possible is to bring an appropriate historical perspective to the course material to teach students an appreciation for how the field of inorganic chemistry developed and who developed it. The most important course objective is to teach students to develop an interconnected network of ideas that they can use to predict a variety of chemical behavior which will provide a solid foundation for future studies. Requirements from Students: Upon completion of the course students should acquire an understanding of a range of basic principles and be able to apply these concepts to rationalize how and why compounds react in specific ways, adopt certain geometries and structural arrangements and display specific physical properties such as color or magnetism. Students should have knowledge and an understanding of applications of inorganic chemistry that will be presented during discussions of diverse subjects such as heavy metal poisoning and antidotes, hydrogen economy, fireworks and antitumor chelating agents. At the end of this course, students should be able to think their way through the material and not merely memorize groups facts or trends, but be able to understand and apply the concepts. Topics and Themes: Refer to schedule below. Lectures 1-15 will cover the basic principles of coordination chemistry. Lecture 16 demonstrates the overlap between inorganic chemistry and biology and introduces the field of bioinorganic chemistry. Lectures 18-35 cover topics within the field of descriptive inorganic chemistry where we build a network of ideas to make sense of the periodic table of elements. Lectures 26-28 present an introduction to the field of solid state inorganic chemistry. 3 CHEMISTRY 2P32 WINTER TERM 2015 Approximate Lecture Schedule Winter, 2012.
