CHEM3503 — Quantum Chemical Models
Chemists rely on a range of visual methods imbued with physical and chemical concepts to understand and explain chemical phenomena. As quantum chemical methods have improved with more refined theories and increased computational power, the range of options for visual understanding and explanation have increased too. We will examine quantum chemical models and their applications to visually explain chemistry according to physical concepts and as a guide toward understanding the chemical significance of numerical output in relation to experimental results from the literature. prereq: 2302 or 2304
