Approved Module Information for CH3008, 2014/5 Module Title/Name: Physical Chemistry III Module Code: CH3008 School: Engineering and Applied Science Module Type: Standard Module New Module? No Module Credits: 20 Module Management Information Module Leader Name Email Address Rob Evans [email protected] Telephone Number Not Specified Office Not Specified Level Description: Level 6 (Bachelors) Programmes in which available: BSc Biological Chemistry. BSc Chemistry. BSc/MChem Applied Chemistry. Available to Exchange Students? Not Specified Module Dependancies Pre-requisites: Physical Chemistry II (CH2107). Co-requisites: None Specified Module Learning Information Module Aims: Physical Chemistry III aims to give the students an introduction to quantum mechanics and its importance to chemistry. The module will be broken into three sections. * Introduction to Quantum Mechanics ---Background to the development of quantum mechanics and the basic principles of quantum theory. * Quantum Mechanics of Particles and Simple Molecules ---Application of the Schrodinger equation to simple models of particles and molecules. * Molecular Symmetry ---The theory of symmetry and group theory (symmetry operations and elements, point groups) and how this theory relates to simple chemical problems, in particular those concerning spectroscopy. The course intends to give students an introduction into the quantum mechanical world, and how the behavior of molecules on a atomic scale can be calculated and understood and how this relates to macroscopic properties. ----Physical Chemistry Laboratory Supplementing the lecture course will be a series of practical sessions in TP1. The experiments in this practical laboratory will build on previous Physical Chemistry modules and introduce practical electronic and molecular spectroscopy. Module Learning Outcomes: Lecture Course By the end of this module, the student should be able to ... *Describe and explain the experimental phenomena that lead to the development quantum theory, *Apply quantum theory and Schrodinger's equation to particles and simple molecules, *Explain how symmetry and group theory can be used to classify molecules and their internal motion and *Interpret spectroscopic and experimental data relating to the module content. --Practical Course By the end of the module, the student should be able to ... * design, plan and conduct appropriate, safe experiments necessary to solve chemical problems, * assess and interpret experimental data gained from experimental results, * evaluate the significance of any errors in the acquired results and * produce concise, appropriate reports of the experiments and data analysis. Indicative Module Content: Lecture Content: Introduction to Quantum Mechanics/Quantum Mechanics of Particles and Simple Molecules: * The breakdown of the classical model of physics - examples including the photoelectric effect, atomic spectra and the behavior of light * The basic principles of quantum mechanics - key postulates, key mathematics, wave-functions, measurement of quantum mechanical systems, leading to the Schrodinger Equation and its solution. * Examples - particle in a box, simple harmonic oscillator, rigid rotor moving in 2- and 3-dimensions Molecular Symmetry: * Symmetry elements operations * Point group notation and the classification of molecular structures according to symmetry * Classification of molecular motion according to symmetry * Applications of symmetry - polarity, chirality, IR and Raman spectroscopy, electronic spectra of d-metal complexes --Laboratory Course: The experiments in this practical laboratory will build on previous Physical Chemistry modules and introduce practical electronic and molecular spectroscopy.
