Explores the design and components for modern instruments used for chemical analysis including optical spectroscopy, electroanalytical techniques, mass spectrometry, and chromatographic separations; allows application of these techniques to evaluate data to answer qualitative and quantitative questions about a chemical sample; provides an appreciation of the relative strengths and limitations of different instrumental-based analysis methods.
Provides a mathematical treatment of chemical laws and theories, including thermodynamics, kinetics, kinetic molecular theory, and the chemistry of solutions and surfaces.
Provides a mathematical treatment of chemical laws and theories, including quantum theory, atomic and molecular structure, and spectroscopy.
Introduces students to the basic principles and methodologies of computer modeling in chemical systems. Lecture topics will range from theoretical discussions on quantum mechanics to the practical application of such topics in the context of computational chemistry software. Students will be exposed to various software packages and methodologies for the modeling of biomolecules, extended solids, and small molecules. The laboratory component will be dedicated to hands-on experience building input files, running computations, and analyzing the results. Three hours of lecture and three hours of lab per week.
Exercises complement and reinforce the concepts covered in CHM 321. A significant part of the course involves the writing of journal-style laboratory reports. One 4-hour laboratory period per week.
