Strategies

On completion of this course, the students will be able to-

CO51: discuss the properties of 3d block

elements and compare with that of 4d and 5d elements.

CO52: explain the various properties of f-block elements and differentiate between lanthanides and actinides as well as d and f-block elements.

CO53: distinguish the structure of different types of complexes on the basis of VBT and CFT and calculate CFSE of different complexes.

CO54: describe the basic concepts of co-ordination chemistry, recognize isomerism in complexes and assign IUPAC name to the coordination compounds.

CO55: differentiate between bulk and trace elements, identify the importance of metal ions in biological systems, describe the structure and functions of different metalloenzymes and explain the mechanism of photosynthesis.
