CHEM 408 Physical Chemistry II
This course is the second part of a two-semester physical chemistry sequence. This course covers quantum mechanics, atomic, molecular, and nuclear spectroscopic techniques. This course utilizes calculus based mathematical methods to characterize the quantum mechanical nature of atoms and molecules. A theoretical basis for atomic spectroscopy and a variety of molecular spectroscopy are developed by using quantum mechanical methods. The students are expected to gain a deep understanding of the atomic and various molecular spectroscopic methods and be able to choose the appropriate method to solve specific problems.
