Fall 2014: RDCH 702 Lecture 4 Electron orbitals and energetics

This lecture covers fundamentals of electron orbitals and energetics in chemical bonding. Correlations between bonding and structure are provided. Ligand field theory is reviewed. Charge transfer in metal-ligand interaction is discussed. Bonding based on molecular orbital theory is given. The utility of spectroscopy in evaluating electron interactions in bonding is presented. The lecture supplies a fundamental understanding of the chemical interactions germane to radionuclide complexes. 

Fall 2014: RDCH 702 Lecture 3 Nuclear Reactions

Nuclear reaction notation is introduced. Reaction energetics, mechanisms and types are described. Nuclear reaction cross sections and their use are described. The stellar production of elements is presented in terms of nuclear reactions. The role of nuclear reactions is discussed and evaluated. The different processes involved in the formation of isotopes is provided. The relationship between nuclear and chemical properties is presented. Stellar nucleosynthesis of elements if discussed in terms of the presented nuclear reactions. This lecture is in two parts.
