Teaching Division:

Physics and Radiochemistry

Educational and
professional goals:

Introduction to the isotopic methods used in chemistry, mainly isotope effects. At the end of this course student should posses the basic knowledge on the isotope effects methods and their applicability.

Course description:

The goal of the lecture is the presentation of the influence of the isotope substitution on the physicochemical properties of the chemical substances. The lecture comprises the following topics: isotope effects in atomic and molecular spectra, chemical and phase equlibria as well as in the chemical kinetics, isotope effects on selected physical macroscopic properties of matter ( density, viscosity, speed of sound and others), Theory of the isotope effects will be followed by the large list of the experimental examples.

A numerous examples illustrating the application of the isotope effects in the study of the molecular structure and intermolecular interaction in liquids and their mixtures will be given.

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.
