CHE 4314 - Quantum Mechanics

Credits: 3 hrs

This course centers on methods of quantum mechanics applied to the following: molecular spectra, chemical bonding and other chemical properties, oscillators, rotators, hydrogen-like wave functions, perturbation and variation theories, configuration interactions, pi-electron systems, spin, and empirical methods. This course emphasizes the quantum mechanical basis of microwave, IR and UV spectroscopies. (Three lecture hours per week.) Prerequisite(s): CHE 4312.
