Summary of Intended Learning Outcomes

At the end of this course students will be able to:
- Demonstrate a detailed knowledge of the factors which determine the energies, intensities and line-widths of the transitions observed in molecular rotation, vibrational and electronic spectra.
- Understand a range of analytical electrochemical techniques.
- Explain what a partition function is, and use it to calculate thermodynamic properties.
- Explain the bulk properties of substances in relation to the structure of their constituent molecules.
- Draw and interpret phase diagrams, and understand the thermodynamics of phase transitions in terms of the behaviour at the interfaces between phases.
