my name is Shilpa. I want to apply for the chemistry department of the North eastern hill university. I have no information about courses of it. so please tell me about what are the courses available in chemistry department available at North eastern hill university? give it to me as soon as possible?

The M. Sc. (Master in Science) Chemistry syllabus of Department of Chemistry of North-Eastern Hill University, Shillong is as follows:


First Semester CHE-C-101

Credits: 4

INORGANIC CHEMISTRY I

Unit 2
(a) Stereochemistry and Bonding: LCAO-MO theory for homonuclear and heteronuclear diatomic molecules; orbital symmetry and overlap; Walsh diagrams; electronegativity (Pauling, Mulliken and Allred-Rochow methods); and polarity of bonds; review of VSEPR model and the use of outer d-orbitals.
(b) Metal-Ligand Equilibria in Solution: Stepwise and overall formation constants; trends in stepwise formation constants; determination of binary formation constant by spectrophotometry; factors affecting stability of metal complexes and chelate effect.
