Kinetics includes molecular motion in the gas and liquid states, rate laws, the Arhenious equation, reaction mechanisms, and activated complex theory. Quantum mechanics are introduced and applied to the particle in a box, the rigid rotor, and the harmonic oscillator. Once a firm foundation has been established in the use of Schrodinger's equation, it is applied to atomic and molecular structure. Prerequisite: CHEM 401; recommended: PHYC 152 or PHYC 162
