Structure, Bonding and Spectroscopy

Three credits · Undergraduate

This course introduces elementary quantum mechanics for chemistry within the framework of chemical systems and spectroscopy. Structure and bonding of atoms and molecules will be introduced with basic quantum mechanical models. Properties of atoms and molecules will be connected to spectroscopy from vibrational, rotational and electronic phenomena, including nuclear magnetic resonance. Credit will be granted for only one of CHEM 331 or CHEM 235. Prerequisites: CHEM 102 or 122; MATH 107, 122, 127 or ENGR 122. Three credits and tutorial.
