Teaching Division:

Physics and Radiochemistry

Educational and
professional goals:

Introduction to the isotopic methods. At the end of the course student should posses the basic knowledge on isotope exchange reactions and on their usefulness in chemistry.

Course description:

The lecture presents fundamentals of the thermodynamics and kinetics of the isotope exchange in homogeneous and heterogeneous systems. The reaction mechanisms will be presented including dissociation and association mechanism as well as the mechanism with the electron transfer. Attention will also be focused on the isotope exchange reaction of hydrogen. The lecture will be illustrated by the numerous examples showing the possibility of the application of the isotope exchange to study the molecular structure and electronic structure. The application of the isotope exchange reaction in the synthesis of the labeled compounds and separation of the isotopes will be also discussed.

Required background:


Basic knowledge of physical and nuclear chemistry

Form of assessment:


Exam

Remarks:

The lecture recommended for students choosing the specialization in nuclear chemistry.
