Special Topics in Main Group Chemistry

Undergraduate

This course provides an introduction to the chemistry of main group elements with a particular focus on the elements of the p-block. The material will highlight the similarities and differences observed between organic molecules and those from the rest of the periodic table with respect to their structural features, bonding and reactivity. (Prerequisite: CHEM-2500.) (3 lecture hours a week.) (May be repeated for credit if content changes.)
