| 529-0962-00L | Fundamental Aspects of Chemistry with an Educational Focus I Information for UZH students: Enrolment to this course unit only possible at ETH. No enrolment to module CHE406 at UZH. Examination Registration only at ETH. Please mind the ETH enrolment deadlines for UZH students: Link | 4 credits | 2V | A. Togni, K. Eyer, R. Grass, C. Thilgen | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 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. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
