CHEM - 320. Quantum Mechanics and Spectroscopy

Three hours of lecture.
3 credit(s)
This course uses mathematical methods to solve both macroscopic and microscopic problems in chemistry. Specific emphasis will be on chemical kinetics, quantum mechanics, and the theory and practice of atomic and molecular spectroscopy. Topics include the applications of chemical kinetics, experimental foundations of quantum theory, postulates of quantum mechanics, solutions of the Schrodinger equation for simple systems, the hydrogen atom, angular momentum, selection rules and atomic spectroscopy, Huckel molecular theory, symmetry and group theory, rotational, vibrational, and electronic spectroscopy, and experimental applications of molecular spectroscopy.

Prerequisite(s): MATH 120  or MATH 115 , and PHYS 120  or PHYS 140 , and CHEM 120  or CHEM 170 .
