Quantum Chemistry ( Professor S. M. Blinder )

This course is designed to introduce students to a thorough, research-oriented view of Physical Chemistry. Required for Honors Chemistry concentrators. Graduate students take course as Chemistry 570.

This is the second of the three-term physical chemistry sequence Chemistry 260/461/463. Chemistry 461 builds on the introduction to quantum mechanics that was begun in Chemistry 260. Students will solve the Schrödinger equation in 1-, 2-, and 3-dimensions for several problems of interest in chemistry, including the particle-in-a-box, harmonic oscillator, rigid rotor, and hydrogen atom. Further topics include atomic structure, valence-bond and molecular orbital theories of chemical bonding and group theory. The concepts of quantum theory are applied to molecular spectroscopy and nuclear magnetic resonance.

Prerequisites & Distribution: Chem. 260, Phys. 240 (or 260), and Math. 215. (3). (Excl). (BS). Credits: (3).

Textbook: This Website. Supplementary reference: Atkins, Physical Chemistry, 6th or 7th Edition (Freeman, 1998, 2002), Chapters 11-18.

Meetings: M, W, F 9-11 am, Rm 1636.

Examinations (open notes format):

Exam 1: Wednesday, May 15 (30% of grade).
Exam 2: Monday, June 3 (30% of grade).

Exams and Homework Keys (see syllabus for dates)

A map to the Science Classroom Bldg may be found here.The final takes place from 10:30 to 12:30 AM Wednesday May 10th.

• Exam 1 in versions a, b, c, and d (version letter appears at upper left of front page) and its answer keys in versions a, b, c, and d.
• Exam 2 in versions a, b, c, and d (version letter appears at upper left of front page) and its answer keys in versions a, b, c, and d.
• Exam 3 in the only version, a, b, c, and d, and its answer key in the only version, a. Note that question 8 of this exam was originally graded with answer (d) as correct. However, it is answer (b) that is correct. If you lost points on this question, please bring your exam to Professor Cramer and your score will be adjusted upwards 6 points (i.e., this question is eliminated and the exam will begin from a base of 6 instead of 0).
• Exam 4 in versions a, b, c, and d (version letter appears at upper left of front page) and its answer keys in versions a, b, c, and d. Note that the problem listed as having answer GG is NOT really answered correctly (GG was "8", but the answer, "9", was not supplied). This problem was not graded and as a result all exams began from a base of 3 points.
• Final Exam in versions a, b, c, and d (version letter appears at upper left of front page) and its answer keys in versions a, b, c, and d. Note that versions a and b had two possible correct answers in the multiple choice question about the parity operator (because of a misprint not present in the answer keys). Either choice was given full credit. For a summary of course grades, see the note above in the Course Information section.

• A handy integral table (many others can also be found on the web).
• CHEM 3502/4502, Spring 03 (Professor Jiali Gao, instructor)
• HyperPhysics pages at Georgia State University. The "Quantum Physics" balloon in the top splash-page web is the most relevant starting point for this class, and there is a nice alphabetized index of topics in the right frame of the page.
• Mathworld and Oviedo University have some very nice plots of the square moduli and real and complex components of the complex and real spherical harmonics.
• The first, second, third, and fourth links visited in class when discussing interstellar microwave spectroscopy.
• Dauger Research page with lovely pictures of hydrogenic orbitals and downloadable shareware (Mac only) to generate 3D orbital images and manipulate them in realtime.
