CHE 336 - Quantum Chemistry and Spectroscopy

Semester Hours: 4

Quantum chemistry and spectroscopy is the study of the microscopic behavior of matter and its interaction with electromagnetic radiation. Topics include the formulation and application of quantum mechanical models, atomic and molecular structure, and various spectroscopic techniques. Laboratory activities demonstrate the fundamental principles of physical chemistry. Methods that will be used during the laboratory portion include: polarimetry, UV-Vis and fluorescence spectroscopies, electrochemistry, and computational/molecular modeling.

Prerequisite: C- grade in CHE 117  and MTH 152  and PHY 152 .
