Purpose of class
In this course, you will be requested first to aim at learning elementary ”quantum chemistry”. You will be requested next to aim at learning elementary ”group theory”, applying the knowledge to predicting the properties of various molecules from simple molecules to complex molecules such as organic compounds and metal complexes.
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.
Course description
In this course, you will first learn about basics of elementary ”quantum chemistry”, 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.
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.

Evaluation method and criteria
Take several quizzes in one semester. A total of 100 points, including 30 points for the quiz, 30 points for the mid-term exam, and 40 points for the final exam, and a total score of 60 points or more is passed.
A score of approximately 60% is given to the student who can solve the basic exercises and new problems of the same level.
If you master the content of each quiz and can solve it by yourself without referring to textbooks and notebooks, you should be able to score 80% in the mid-term and final exams.
