A Student Reflection
On January 7, 2014, Dr. Gernot Frenking, an eminent theoretical
chemist from the University of Marburg, Germany, came to visit the IBDP segment
to deliver an informative lecture on “Chemical Bonding.” Dr. Frenking has
published many award-winning books and has bagged numerous laurels, including
the prestigious Schrödinger Medal of World Association of Theoretical and
Computational Chemists in 2009.
During the session, Dr. Frenking expounded on various topics related
to bonding such as hybridisation, orbital overlap, and wave functions. It was a
topic in which all of us were intrigued about, as we were learning about this in
class as well. After his lecture, there was an interactive Q&A discussion
where the students asked Professor Frenking about his notable achievements and
queries associated with the lecture. All in all, it was an enriching and
unforgettable experience and we can hardly wait for more enlightening sessions
in the future.
