Concepts of Quantum Mechanics, Quantum Dynamics, Angular Momentum, Approximation
Methods, Symmetry in Quantum Mechanics, Theory of chemical bonding, Scattering
Theory and Relativistic Quantum Mechanics.
Millard H. Alexander's instructional material delves into more
complex topics in modern theoretical chemistry. He covers approximation methods,
electronic structure theory, molecular spectroscopy, collision theory, and
chemical kinetics in comprehensive discussions. The text follows this format to
delve deeper into the mathematical and physical foundations of molecular
behavior, specifically in the context of computational and experimental
chemistry. This article is a manuscript guideline for graduate students in
theoretical chemistry looking to extend their knowledge in these specialized
topics.
This is an all-inclusive PDF note on an introduction to quantum mechanics
in theoretical chemistry. Major concepts introduced are wave mechanics, quantum
dynamics, and angular momentum. The material under study includes approximation
methods and symmetry in quantum mechanics, which forms the key for molecular
behavior. The theory of chemical bonding, scattering theory, and relativistic
quantum mechanics were also considered. This note provides students with a
comprehensive exposure to the role that quantum mechanics plays in the
explanation of chemical phenomena and provides a foundation for more
sophisticated theoretical studies in chemistry.
