課程資料
課程重點
- Connect scales
- Move from electronic and molecular structure to measurable properties.
- Choose a reactivity model
- Use energy, entropy, equilibrium, kinetics or mechanism appropriately.
- Compare explanations
- Judge which model accounts for the observation and where it is limited.
- Establish relationships
- Set up balanced equations and mathematical models before substitution.
- Handle data quality
- Track units, precision, uncertainty and significant figures.
- Interpret chemically
- Explain the implication for composition, feasibility, rate or extent.
- Follow electron flow
- Relate nucleophile, electrophile, acid-base and redox behaviour.
- Plan routes
- Work backwards from a target and test the compatibility of steps.
- Use analytical evidence
- Combine spectra, observations and chemical tests to justify structures.
- Control chemical variables
- Choose range, concentration, temperature, controls and safety.
- Process evidence
- Select calculations, graphs and uncertainty treatment appropriate to the question.
- Evaluate chemically
- Separate measurement limitations from reaction and model limitations.
