Course description
This course is targeted at first graders of applied chemistry department.
In this course, you will first learn about basics of elementary "quantum mechanics", that is, "what is electrons" and the state of electrons in atoms and molecules. Next, you will learn how to predict properties and three-dimensional structures of small molecules by applying the quantum mechanical concepts. Finally you will learn how to predict the properties of complex molecules such as organic compounds and metal complexes. The concept of symmetry is also indispensable to understand the properties of molecules and crystals which are the solid-state assemblies of molecules. You will learn the basics of "group theory" which is the theory of symmetry. The contents learned in this course will become the foundation of chemistry which will be necessary to study specialized chemical subjects in the future.
You will be able to deepen your knowledge you learned in "Inorganic Chemistry 1" and "Organic Chemistry 1" in the previous term by reviewing those from a different angle with new concepts.
Purpose of class
In this course, you will be requested first to aim at learning elementary "quantum mechanics". You will be requested next to aim at learning elementary "group theory", and applying these knowledge to predicting the properties of various molecules from simple molecules to complex molecules such as organic compounds and metal complexes. The aim of this course is to obtain a deeper understanding of chemistry by applying spotlight from slightly different angle to the contents of "Inorganic Chemistry 1" and "Organic Chemistry 1" you learned in the previous term.
The purpose of this course is to consolidate the foundation of all chemistry which will be necessary to study specialized chemical subjects in the future.
Goals and objectives
  1. Make it possible to predict the shape, size, and phase of molecular orbits of simple molecules.
  2. To be able to determine the structure and polarity of molecules by symmetrical operation and VSEPR theory.
  3. To be able to explain various intermolecular interactions in relation to structure.
