CHEM 302 Quantum Mechanics, Statistical Mechanics, and Spectroscopy

This course is the second of a two-semester sequence in physical chemistry covering quantum chemistry, spectroscopy, and statistical mechanics. The laboratory includes a heavy computational component along with experimental methods for data collection using instrumentation so as to compare theoretical and experimental results. Three hours of lecture-discussion and four hours of laboratory per week. CHEM 301 and 302 are the physical chemistry foundation requirement for the American Chemical Society Chemistry major.
