CHEM 2010U – Structure and Bonding

An introduction to modern physical inorganic chemistry which provides a systematic overview of bonding theories designed to explain molecular arrangements, with emphasis on structure and energy. An introduction to Quantum theory (origins, Bohrs theory, uncertainty principle, wave function, Shrodinger equation) and to electronic structure of atoms and molecules (including VB and MO theories, and bonding in polyatomic molecules).
