CHEM 3060 - Physical Chemistry 1

Institution:

Utah Tech University

Subject:

Chemistry

Description:

A problem-oriented course in atomic and molecular structure, states of matter, and chemical kinetics. Introduction to efficient retrieval of information from the physical chemical literature and thinking critically about the material. Students will understand the difference between classical and quantum mechanics, understanding the time, length, and energy scales on which chemical processes occur, and connect common approximation methods to standard chemical frameworks. **COURSE LEARNING OUTCOMES (CLOs) At the successful conclusion of this course, students will be able to: 1. Differentiate between classical and quantum mechanics. 2. Evaluate and connect operators to observables. 3. Distinguish probabilities, amplitudes, averages, expectation values, and observables. 4. Compare common approximation methods to standard chemical frameworks (Born-Oppenheimer, molecular orbitals). Prerequisites: PHYS 2010 or PHYS 2210, and CHEM 2320 and MATH 1220 (all Grade C or higher). FA (odd)
