Quantum Chemistry

Volledige vakbeschrijving

This course will start by focusing on the basics of quantum chemistry and the solving of the Schrödinger equation and utilising it to describe the particle in a box model. We will then move forward and use the model to describe atoms and then diatomic molecules, linking it to the rise of quantum numbers. The course will then move onto valence chemistry and the LCAO model to predict some of the properties of diatomic molecules finishing with Hückel theory to demonstrate organic molecules’ reactivity.
