CHIM0605-2  Chemistry and inorganic materials

Duration :  30h Th
Number of credits :  
Bachelor in engineering (Bachelor in engineering sciences, civil engineer orientation), 3rd year3
Master in Chemical Engineering and Materrial Sciences, in-depth approach, 1st year3
Master in Chemical and Material Sciences, specialized approach, 1st year3
Lecturer :  Bénédicte Vertruyen
Language(s) of instruction :  
French language
Organisation and examination :  
Teaching in the second semester
Course contents :  
Part 1: Structure and bonding in inorgnaic solids
Part 2: Introduction to the synthesis of inorganic solids
An introduction to X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy is included.
The course matter is illustrated by numerous exercices. The pratical sessions connected to the course are part of course CHIM0681-1 "Combined chemistry laboratories"
Learning outcomes of the course :  
At the end of the course, students will be able to:
· understand and use the theoretical and practical concepts involved in structural inorganic chemistry; · understand and explain the mechanisms involved in synthesis processes of inorganic solids; · analyse synthesis procedures reported in the literature. In addition, laboratory sessions in small groups (course CHIM0681-1) will help the students in developing more general skills, such as : team working, problem solving, finding information in technical literature, critical analysis of experimental data, oral and writing skills.
Prerequisites and co-requisites/ Recommended optional programme components :  
- introductory chemistry course
- binary phase diagrams
Planned learning activities and teaching methods :  
The theoretical course is complemented by exercices. In addition, one session is organised so that students can get hands-on experience of crystallography software. Practical sessions are included in course CHIM0681-1 but oral presentations of the results of the lab work are organized during a lecture.
Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning) :  
face to face
Recommended or required readings :  
The following documents are available :
- copy of powerpoint slides - list of problems - list of equations - list of keywords
Assessment methods and criteria :  
- final exam : 90 %
- oral presentation of lab results : 10 %
Work placement(s) :
