On This Day - Oct 28 : Christopher Ingold was born
He was one of the leading figures in British chemistry and his aim was to understand the mechanism of organic reactions. He also contributed to the Cahn-Ingold-Prelog system, which is used to name the stereoisomers of a molecule.

On This Day - Jun 24 : Johannes Wislicenus born
He is best known for his work on stereochemistry. He coined the term ‘geometric isomerism’ in the early 1870s when he discovered two substances that had an identical chemical structure but different physical properties.

On This Day – Sep 19 : Chemical structure defined
Chemical structure refers to the way atoms are arranged within molecules. Butlerov realised that chemical compounds are not a random cluster of atoms and functional groups, but structures with definite order.

Structure and Bonding
Knowledge of structure and bonding can help explain the properties of materials. All the properties of a particular substance depend upon the elements present and how they are bonded to each other. This programme is designed to develop students understanding of structure and bonding as well as developing thinking ...
