CHM1001.4: Hydrogen and the s- and p-block elements
Recommended reading
Textbooks:
Inorganic Chemistry
(CE Housecroft & AG Sharpe), 4th edition (Pearson) 2012
An eBook version is available via the Dawsonera collection (access requires MUSE log-in)
The student resources on the companion website for this book
include multiple choice questions for each chapter
Periodicity
and the s- and p-block elements (N.C. Norman), an Oxford Primer, is also recommended as
a concise source. However, it does not cover all material in the
course.
Material relevant to this course can be found in the following chapters
(or sections thereof) in Housecroft and Sharpe
Chapter 1 Basic concepts: atoms
Sections 1.8, and 1.10 - periodic trends in ionisation energy and electron affinity
Chapter 2 Basic concepts: molecules
Section 2.5 - periodic trends in electronegativity
Chapter 6 Structures and energetics of metallic and ionic solids
Sections 6.1-6.6, 6.10-6.15
Chapter 7 Acids, bases and ions in aqueous solution
Sections 7.1 and 7.2 hydrogen bonding in water; 7.9 solubility of ionic compounds
Chapter 9 Non aqueous media
Section 9.6 liquid ammonia as a solvent
Chapter 10 Hydrogen
Sections 10.1-10.7
Chapter 11 Group 1: the alkali metals
Sections 11.1-11.8
Chapter 12 The Group 2 metals
Sections 12.1-12.8
Chapter 13 The Group 13 elements
Sections 13.1-13.7
Chapter 14 The Group 14 elements
Sections 14.1-14.6; 14.8, 14.9
Chapter 15 The Group 15 elements
Sections 15.1-15.5; 15.7-15.11
Chapter 16 The Group 16 elements
Sections 16.1-16.5; 16.7-16.9
Chapter 17 The Group 17 elements
Sections 17.1-17.9
Chapter 18 The Group 18 elements
Sections 18.1-18.5
The following chapters provide
underpinning material covered largely in other segments of CHM1001:
Chapter 1 Basic concepts: atoms
Atomic structure covered in CHM1001.1.P (Prof Fowler)
Chapter 2 Basic concepts: molecules
Molecular structure covered in CHM1001.2.I (Dr Winter)
Chapter 5 Bonding in polyatomic molecules
hybridisation in CHM1001.2.I (Dr Winter)
