Content and learning outcomes
Course disposition
Course contents
-
The origin of the elements
- The electron configuration of the elements and the reasons for periodicity regarding chemical properties
- The abundance, distribution and extraction of the elements

- The archetypical element chemistry and their reasons
Intended learning outcomes
After completion of the course the doctoral student should have:
- Acquired knowledge regarding the origin of the elements and to the rationale behind the structure of the periodic table
- Obtained detailed knowledge on the effects of electron structure regarding chemical properties and reactivity, as well as typical properties linked to a specific electron configuration
- Gained detailed knowledge on the abundance, distribution and extraction of the elements
- Acquired detailed knowledge on the properties and reactivity of the elements coupled to the underlying reasons
- The ability to relate to and apply obtained knowledge on the own research projects
- The capability to analyze and evaluate their own research in the light of existing knowledge in the field
