Teoria da Ligação Química

At the end of this curricular unit, students should have aquired knowledge and skills which will allow them to:

Apply general concepts of quantum mechanics

Predict atomic and mlecular properties

Predic the most likely Lewis strucutures and molecular geometries for a given molecular formula..

Predict electronic structure and molecular geometry through Valence Bond Theory and Molecular Orbital Theory

Based on Valence Bond and Molecular Orbital Theories, predict molecular properties (bond distance and order, diamagnetism and paramagnetism, acid/base behaviour, nucleofilicity and electrofilicity, ioniztion energy, electron afinity, etc.)

Use Frontier Orbital Theory to predict and rationalize chemical reactivity in simple molecules.
