Quantum Chemistry and Spectroscopic Approach (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book presents quantum mechanics through a systematic progression from classical atomic models to modern quantum theory. Beginning with foundational concepts, the text develops Schrödinger's equation and its applications to fundamental quantum systems. Mathematical rigor is balanced with physical interpretation throughout.

• Detailed derivations of quantum mechanical principles
• Comprehensive treatment of particle systems, rigid rotators, and harmonic oscillators
• In-depth analysis of hydrogen atom wavefunctions and multi-electron systems
• Applications to rotational, vibrational, and electronic spectroscopy
• Comparative presentation of Valence Bond and Molecular Orbital theories

Ideal for advanced undergraduate and graduate students in chemistry and physics.
