| Schedule and Contents |
Part I: Introduction to Quantum Theory (Class 1 - 4) The main topics include wave motion and light, energy quantization, the Bohr model, wave-particle duality, the Schrodinger Equation, and particles in boxes. Part II: Atomic structure (Class 5 - 9) The main topics include the Hydrogen atom, sizes and shapes of orbitals, Shell model, electron configuration, periodic properties an electronic structure. Part III: Molecular structure (Class 10 - 14) The main topics include chemical bond, molecular orbital theory, diatomic molecules, valence bond theory, and orbital hybridization. Feedback (Class15): There will be feedback session to cover any doubts or questions related to what you study in this course. |

| Evaluation Methods and Policy | The grade will be evaluated as follows: final exam (40%), quizzes at the end of each part (20%), assignments (40%). | |||
| Course Requirements | None | |||
| Study outside of Class (preparation and review) |
Students are required to study the class contents in advance. It is desired that students check additional study sources (books, internet). Quizzes will be done during class. Submission of quizzes outside the designated time and date will not be accepted. The assignments must be submitted on PandA as PDF files by the due date. No late assignment turn-in will be accepted. |
