Course description: Physical Chemistry II covers both chemical kinetics (e.g., rates, rate laws, mechanisms) and the fundamental principles and applications of quantum mechanics in modern chemical science (e.g., quantum models, periodicity, bonding, spectroscopy). This course is intended primarily for chemistry, biochemistry, environmental science and chemical and biochemical engineering majors. The course requires use of differential and integral calculus and skill in mathematical problem solving, and makes use of various software packages. There are three lectures per week given by a professor and discussion sessions conducted by a TA. Grades are determined by three to four unit exams, a final exam, and several problem sets. The exams are scheduled in the evening.
