CHEM 31900 - Physical Chemistry Ii

Course Credit: 1
(CHPY)
Quantum and statistical mechanics. Topics include quantum mechanical theory, quantum mechanical models for motion, the structure of atoms and molecules, molecular symmetry, molecular spectroscopy, and statistical mechanics and thermodynamics. The laboratory experiments focus upon spectroscopy and quantum calculations. There is an emphasis on data analysis and interpretation of results, as well as exploring current research trends. Three class hours and one three-hour laboratory per week. Prerequisite(s): CHEM 11200, minimum grade C-, and MATH 11200, minimum grade C-. Annually. [MNS]
