PEC247: Physical and Inorganic Chemistry

Concepts of physical and inorganic chemistry underlie much of biology, engineering, medicine and chemistry. This unit introduces a number of important topics that contribute to this branch of chemistry, including phases of matter, fundamentals of gases and liquids, chemical kinetics, metal-ligand interactions, surfaces and surface processes. Attention is drawn to the application of the concepts to industrial, biological and pharmaceutical chemistry and extractive metallurgical processes.
