Chemistry 341 - Quantum Chemistry and Spectroscopy

Institution:

St Lawrence University

Subject:

Description:

A study of the sometimes unexpected consequences of quantization and the wave-particle duality of light and matter in chemical systems that will uncover the foundations of quantum chemistry. Experimental evidence, usually collected from spectroscopic results, is used to support postulates and gain further insight into the macroscopic properties of atoms and molecules. Topics include tunneling, molecular motions, quantum mechanical origins of orbitals and energy levels of the hydrogen atom, molecular orbitals, chemical bonding and related spectroscopic methods. Prerequisites: Chemistry 104 or 105, Physics 104 or 152, Mathematics 136.
