Course title: Chemistry of Radioactive Elements
Name in Polish: Chemia pierwiastków promieniotwórczych
Organizational unit: Faculty of Chemistry
Course groups: (in Polish) Przedmioty minimum programowego dla studentów 4-go semestru (S1-PRK-CHJR)
ECTS credit allocation (and other scores): 1.50 Basic information on ECTS credits allocation principles:
  • the annual hourly workload of the student’s work required to achieve the expected learning outcomes for a given stage is 1500-1800h, corresponding to 60 ECTS;
  • the student’s weekly hourly workload is 45 h;
  • 1 ECTS point corresponds to 25-30 hours of student work needed to achieve the assumed learning outcomes;
  • weekly student workload necessary to achieve the assumed learning outcomes allows to obtain 1.5 ECTS;
  • work required to pass the course, which has been assigned 3 ECTS, constitutes 10% of the semester student load.
Language: Polish
Type of course:

obligatory courses
Prerequisites (description):

4. semester of Nuclear Chemistry and Radiopharmaceutical bachelor programme.

Knowledge of nuclear, inorganic and organic chemistry is required.
Mode:

Classroom
Short description:

The lecture familiarizes students with basic information on the chemistry of radioactive elements and their use in medicine and industry.
Full description:

The lecture covers issues related to the description of the physicochemical properties of radioactive elements (astatine, radium, technetium and actinium) in the context of their use in nuclear medicine. Methods of synthesis of selected radiopharmaceuticals will be discussed.

The second part of the lecture will be devoted to description of the properties of actinides ( especially thorium and uranium). The compounds formed by these elements with C, N, O and halogens will be discussed as well as their spectroscopic properties and methods of their separation.

The application of the radioactive elements will be discussed.
