| Abstract | Selected topics in general chemistry: 1) The language of chemistry 2) Chirality and stereochemistry 3) Oxidation of water 4) Chemistry of the atmosphere | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Learning objective | In this course, participants acquire extended and more in-depth knowledge of selected chemistry topics. The selection is based to a large extent on the partial aspects of chemistry that are typically taught at high school. By gaining a broader understanding, teachers are put in a position where they can comprehend the topics that are to be taught in a wider and, to some extent, unconventional context and critically process these in respect of their teachability and learnabiltiy. At the same time, interrelationships between the classical sub-disciplines of chemistry are highlighted, along with the unique features of chemistry as one of the central natural sciences. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Content | Content of the four modules: 1) The language of chemistry: Concepts, formulas, aesthetics, and philosophical aspects 2) Chirality and stereochemistry: Selected aspects, origin of biomolecular chirality, inorganic chemistry 3) Water Oxidation, from Photosystem II to biomimetic models 4) Chemistry of the atmosphere | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Lecture notes | Folien und ausgewählte Literatur werden zur Verfügung gestellt. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Literature | Ausgewählte Artikel aus der Primärliteratur werden vorgestellt, kommentiert und zur Lektüre empfohlen. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Prerequisites / Notice | FV I (gelesen im Herbstsemester) und FV II (gelesen im Frühjahrssemester) bauen nicht aufeinander auf. Die Reihenfolge der Belegung ist somit indifferent. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
