Theoretical chemistry 02-CHTU
Comprehension of unusual properties of the quantum world including e.g. quantization, superposition of states, uncertainty, wave-particle duality, complementarity and probabilistic versus deterministic interpretation of the quantum theory. Distinguishing between micro- and macro-levels of matter organization and relations linking them. Knowing on how to construct the quantum eigenvalue equation for atomic and molecular systems and how to solve it by application of analytical and approximate methods. Understanding the connection between internal motions of molecules (rotational, vibrational, electronic) and their ability to generate MW, IR, UV spectra Knowing on: which of molecular properties can be determined from high-resolution spectra and how to evaluate them from the spectra using methods of theoretical spectroscopy, adequate application of the quantum calculus to solve particular problems in the quantum domain, application of MAPLE program for symbolic calculations in mathematics and quantum chemistry.
