Instructor name OOKITA HIDEO (Graduate School of Engineering Professor)
Outline and Purpose of the Course In Physical Chemistry III (frontier chemistry), lectures will focus on quantum chemstry, which is one of the core subjects in physical chemistry as well as thermodynamics and statistical thermodynamics: quantum chemistry describe the dynamics and properies of microscopic systems such as electrons and molecules, thermodynamics provides systematic description of macroscopic properties and characteristics, and statistical thermodynamics makes links between microscopic and macroscopic properties. The lectures will also focus on how quantum theory serves as a basis for understanding electron configuration in atoms, chemical bonds, molecular structure, and various spectroscopic properties.
Course Goals Students will understand quantum theory systematically, which provides the fundamental laws of the molecular world. Students will also become able to explain, on the basis of quantum theory, electron configuration in atoms, chemical bonds, molecular structures, and various spectroscopic properites.

Evaluation Methods and Policy 【Evaluation method】
 Evaluation will be based on an examination (80%) and class performance (20%).
 Evaluation for Participation in class includes attendance and evaluations of short reports.
【Evaluation policy】
 Achievement of goals is evaluated according to the grade evaluation policy of the undergraduate.

  
Course Requirements Prerequisites for this course are completion of the following courses: Fundamentals of Physical Chemistry and Practical Exercises, Physical Chemistry I (Frontier Chemistry), and Physical Chemistry II (Frontier Chemistry).
Study outside of Class (preparation and review) Lectures will proceed on the assumption that students have read carefully and thoroughly assigned textbook pages before each class period. Therefore, students should be sure to perform such study before and after each class.
