The learners should be able to apply, analyze and evaluate the structure and bonding aspects of inorganic and organometallic compounds derived from main group elements, using spectroscopic techniques. Learning Outcomes: At the end of the course, the learners should be able to: Identify the basic principles related to structure and bonding of s & p block elements Use various spectroscopic principles to characterize inorganic and organometallic compounds Predict the synthesis and bonding properties of s and p block elements
