Leyssens Tom;

Language

French

Main themes

A detailed study of the properties of matter and molecules is presented and completed by a discussion of chemical reactivity models. Teachers will place emphasis on microscopic versus macroscopic properties connecting both approaches through a statistical point of view.

Aims

At the end of this learning unit, the student is able to :
1	The course aims to guide students in completing their knowledge in physical chemistry and to apply it to concrete cases. A systematic presentation completes the education of chemical thermodynamics and kinetics acquired during the bachelor's degree.

Content

The goal of this class is to take up where LCHM1351 left of. The class has two major topics. In a first part, chemical kinetics are taken to the next level, focusing on the basic concepts behind chemical kinetics. In a next, part of the course we focus on applying all concepts of LCHM1351 and LCHM1352 to a more specific field focusing on crystal engineering, crystal growth and crystallization. There is also a slight intermezzo discussing intermolecular interactions.

Teaching methods

This course is a 5 Credit course consisting of 45h of classes given during the first term.
Slides or available on Moodle. Further information and books can be acquired from T. Leyssens.

Evaluation methods

A written exam takes place in January. During the exam, the student is able to reproduce the theory that is considered during the course, as well as to apply the course material to solve practical problems. The exam will cover all the chapters that are considered in the course.
