Chm Unit Guide
CHM1051
Chemistry
CHM1051 has been designed for students who have demonstrated a strong aptitude for chemistry during secondary studies, eg. a VCE Chemistry Study Score >=37. On completion of this unit, students will have gained an understanding of how atoms and molecules interact with each other and how this affects their bonding, reactivity, 3D structure and physical properties. A number of important topics such as stoichiometry, intermolecular forces, thermodynamics, kinetics, equilibria, and electrochemistry will be developed in order to prepare students for a deeper exploration of chemistry. The concepts developed within the lectures and workshops are complemented through an extended laboratory program where students will have the opportunity to develop analytical techniques and design their own experiments to solve a range of chemical problems. Mode of Delivery Workload Day Only Per week: Two 1-hour lectures One 1-hour problem solving workshop One 4-hour laboratory VCE Chemistry with Chem Study Score >36, or ATAR >90.

ACADEMIC OVERVIEW Learning Objectives On completion of this unit students will be able to: 1. Employ quantum mechanics to describe features of atomic structure and the construction of the periodic table of elements; 2. Interpret the relationships between electronic structure and bonding exploring a wide range of molecular structures; 3. Investigate aspects of stereochemistry such as isomerism and chirality; 4. Distinguish differences between ideal gases and real gases;
