CHEM 340: Quantum Chemistry and Molecular Structure

(1 Unit)
Prerequisite: CHEM 212 , MATH 143 , and PHYS 115 or PHYS 167
The microscopic or molecular basis for chemistry. Among the topics covered are the use of Schrodinger wave machanics to examine the energies of atoms and molecules, including structure and chemical bonds; comparison of calculated energies with experimental values obtained from atomic and molecular spectroscopy; and an introduction to the modern methods of molecular modeling.
