CHEM 5210 - Advanced Physical Chemistry

3 hours

Basic concepts of quantum mechanics are emphasized utilizing several models to aid in the description, such as the square well model, the rigid rotator, the hydrogen atom and the hydrogen molecule ion. The applications of quantum mechanics to chemical systems are considered in terms of resonance, wave mechanics, perturbation and variation methods.

Prerequisite(s): Pass exemption examination in physical chemistry, or CHEM 5200.
