These
lecture notes have been prepared to give an introduction into the foundations of
atomic and molecular physics with an emphasis on the interaction of these atomic systems
with light, and in more general, with electromagnetic fields. Topics covered
includes: Wave-corpuscular duality of photons and massive particles, Angular
momentum in quantum mechanics, Atomic spectra, simple models of atoms, Spin and
the fine structure, Many-body problems, systems of identical particles,
Molecular structure and spectra, Bose Einstein Condensation, Elements of
coherent atom field interactions, Atoms in Strong Fields, Photons, A quantum
paradox and the experiments.
This note covers the following topics: Molecular Shapes, What
Determines the Shape of a Molecule, Valence Shell Electron Pair, Repulsion
Theory, Molecular Arrangments, Lone pairs and Bond Angle, Multiple Bonds and
Bond Angles, Trigonal Bipyramidal arrangment, Polarity, Overlap and Bonding,
Hybrid Orbitals, Valence Bond Theory, Single Bonds, Multiple Bonds, Delocalized
Electrons, Orbitals in Molecules.
