Lecture note on Physical Chemistry and Theoretical Chemistry
This
lecture note explains fundamental concepts in quantum mechanics and
theoretical chemistry, particularly focusing on the electronic structure of
atoms and molecules. The document explores main topics such as many-electron
systems, quantum mechanical models, and their implications in understanding
molecular behavior. It provides a theoretical framework essential for
computational chemistry, aiming to bridge the gap between theoretical and
experimental chemistry. Topics discussed include the nature of electronic
structure, atomic and molecular orbitals, and quantum mechanics' role in
chemical reactions, forming the foundation of computational chemistry
approaches.
