Course description |
This course provides introduction to quantum chemistry which enables you to understand microscopic properties of atoms and molecules. |
Expected Learning |
After completing this course, you are expected to be able to answer the following questionnaires. (1) Relationship between the color of light and the photon energy (2) Origin of continuum spectrum of sun and line spectra of atoms (3) Why we can order elements as the periodic table shows? (4) What we get from atomic orbitals and molecular orbitals? (5) From the same reactant, why we sometimes get different products by photoreaction from that by thermal reaction? |
Course schedule |
The contents of each class are as follow. During the class, there are several practice exercises for improving your understanding. Class 1: Light and atomic line spectrum Class 2: Photoelectric effect and matter waves Class 3: Niels Bohr’s old quantum theory Class 4: Schr?dinger’s wave equation 1: Introduction Class 5: Schr?dinger’s wave equation 2: Application Class 6: Wave function of the hydrogen atom Class 7: Electron spin and multi-electron atoms Class 8: Atomic orbitals and periodic table of the elements Class 9: Introduction to the molecular orbital theory Class 10: Molecular orbitals of diatomic molecules Class 11: Shapes of molecules: VSEPR theory and hybridized orbitals Class 12: Huckel molecular orbital (HMO) theory1: Introduction Class 13: Huckel molecular orbital (HMO) theory2: Application Class 14: Understanding chemical reactions with molecular orbitals Class 15: Examination |
Prerequisites |
Students are highly encouraged to work with problems in the textbook |
Required Text(s) and Materials |

Assessment/Grading |
Final score will be constituted by comprehension check tests during the course (10%), and one homework (20%) during the course and one examination (70%) at the end of the course. |
Message from instructor(s) |
There are many phenomena which can be only explained by the quantum theory. At the present day, the development of science and technology cannot be realized without the quantum theory. Important technical words will be written in both Japanese and English. |
Course keywords |
