COURSE NO: CHEM 3382 SEMESTER HOURS: three(3) PREREQ: CHEM 3381 or permission of instructor ENROLLMENT LIMIT: 18 Required for Chemistry majors(General and ACS Certification options) CHEM 3382 Physical Chemistry II(3) Continuation of CHEM 3381 with the focus shifted to quantum mechanics (including Hamiltonian, quantum numbers, wavefunctions, and orbital energy) are covered explicitly and used to formulate general molecular orbital theory> Spectroscopy is explained with similar rigor and applied in the elucidation of molecular structures. Discussions of chemical kinetics include rate law, transition state theory, thermodynamics parameters of activated complexes, and reaction mechanisms. (3hr. lec/1 hr. rec.)
