| Outline and Purpose of the Course | We learn about the basics of quantum theory from the chemistry point of view. At first, we learn about the properties of electromagnetic waves and De Broglie wave of matter. Once we understand the wave particle duality, we move to the fundamental atomic models such as Bohr atomic model. Then we learn about the quantization of energy, the wave function and orbitals of atoms, and Schrödinger wave equation. We solve the Schrödinger wave equation to get an insight on the absorption and vibrational spectra of molecules. We then study the wave function and atomic spectra of hydrogen atom, and spin of electron in detail. Finally, we learn about the application of quantum chemistry in various fields. | |||
| Course Goals | The aim of this class is to understand the basic principles of quantum chemistry. | |||
