MOLECULAR SPECTROSCOPY

Degree course: 
Corso di Second cycle degree in CHEMISTRY
Academic year when starting the degree: 
2021/2022
Year: 
2
Academic year in which the course will be held: 
2022/2023
Credits: 
8
Period: 
First Semester
Standard lectures hours: 
64
Requirements: 

Quantum Mechanics is a standard prerequisite for this course.

Final Examination: 
Orale

Oral examination on both part A and B of the course (30 min). Four questions:
2 questions on the content of section 1 as in the course program.
2 questions on the content of sections 2-7 as in the course program.

The evaluation criteria will consider:
1) the completeness of the acquired knowledge.
2) ability to report critically about the advantages and limitations of the different techniques.
3) ability to indicate the more appropriate spectroscopy to be used in different scenarios.
4) the technical terminology used.

Assessment: 
Voto Finale

• Knowledge and understanding
o the regions of the electromagnetic spectrum
o the main spectroscopic techniques
o spectroscopic transition rules
• Skills aims.
o Bottom-up approach to chemical problems
o Extraction of the information from an experiment using a coherent physical model
o Selection of the most suitable technique(s) according to the desired outcome
o Critical analysis of experimental results
• Communicative aims
o This lesson aims at helping learners become better able to explain the logic process that brings to the selection of a spectroscopic techniques.
• Autonomous assessment
o Selection of the spectroscopic approach
o Discussion of results

The teaching consists of two modules, see details in the Modules section.

See details in the Modules section.

During the lessons, students are often engaged by means of questions in order to make them more involved according to the basic principles of active learning in its most elementary form.
