unavoidable reasons such as sickness, accident, or no attendance school, the student may get a grade of'Absent' through the judgment of the course instructor and the student when the student submits a 'Course
Withdrawal Request Form' to receive the 'Absent' grade. No submission of sickness/absence reports and lackof attendance score will result in an 'F' grade: It is for the protection of other attendances in thecorresponding course from the frequent absences of the specific/uncertain student(s). This assessment can bereconsidered within pandemic conditions where the attendance can be replaced with the submission of

●NotesSubmission of "Course Withdrawal Request Form is necessary to withdraw the course. The student needs tocontact the course instructor when the student wants to withdraw from the course.In the cases of any
unavoidable reasons such as sickness, accident, or no attendance school, the student may get a grade of'Absent' through the judgment of the course instructor and the student when the student submits a 'Course
Withdrawal Request Form' to receive the 'Absent' grade. No submission of sickness/absence reports and lackof attendance score will result in an 'F' grade: It is for the protection of other attendances in thecorresponding course from the frequent absences of the specific/uncertain student(s).This assessment can bereconsidered within pandemic conditions where the attendance can be replaced with the submission of
assignments.
●Contacting FacultyStudents are recommended to prepare each lecture by reading the corresponding chapter in the textbook andto review it by solving the related homework questions.

concepts of the grouptheory in the first half of this course. Students will learn various point groups,
structures of character tables, andbasic mathematical techniques related to the group theory.Then students
will learn first- and second-order Jahn-Teller effects that are related to the distortions of groundstatestructures and the activation energy of chemical reactions. Finally, the students will learn symmetryrules thatdetermine the pathways of reactions.By taking this course, students will understand (1) symmetry
elements and symmetry operations of various pointgroups; (2) methods of mathematical calculations using
character tables; (3) method to draw molecular orbital byobtaining group orbitals; (4) analyses of normal
mode vibrations of simple molecules by leaning the whole moleculemethod and internal coordinate method;(5) judgment if a given dipole transition is allowed or not; (6) determinationsof ground-state structures ofvarious compounds; and (7) judgment if a given reaction is allowed to proceed thermally/ photochemicallyor not.

●NotesSubmission of "Course Withdrawal Request Form is necessary to withdraw the course. The student needs tocontact the course instructor when the student wants to withdraw from the course.In the cases of any
unavoidable reasons such as sickness, accident, or no attendance school, the student may get a grade of'Absent' through the judgment of the course instructor and the student when the student submits a 'Course
Withdrawal Request Form' to receive the 'Absent' grade. No submission of sickness/absence reports and lackof attendance score will result in an 'F' grade: It is for the protection of other attendances in thecorresponding course from the frequent absences of the specific/uncertain student(s).This assessment can bereconsidered within pandemic conditions where the attendance can be replaced with the submission of
assignments.

In this course students will learn about the characteristics of the planets and other components of our solar
system (orbital parameters, atmospheric conditions, internal structure and composition, geomorphology,
geological activity).We will use the knowledge of our own planet Earth as a reference to understandprocesses occurring elsewhere.During the past fifty years, various spacecrafts and exploration vehicles havebeen used to considerably expand our knowledge of the solar system and send back to Earth ever moredetailed pictures of distant worlds. The course will review the different means of space exploration and use
abundant data acquired by past and ongoing missions to illustrate the characteristics of the planets. A
recurrent topic throughout the course will be the fascinating question of the existence of extraterrestrial life
and its detection. We will also discuss the future of space exploration.

●NotesSubmission of "Course Withdrawal Request Form is necessary to withdraw the course. The student needs tocontact the course instructor when the student wants to withdraw from the course.In the cases of any
unavoidable reasons such as sickness, accident, or no attendance school, the student may get a grade of'Absent' through the judgment of the course instructor and the student when the student submits a 'Course
Withdrawal Request Form' to receive the 'Absent' grade. No submission of sickness/absence reports and lackof attendance score will result in an 'F' grade: It is for the protection of other attendances in thecorresponding course from the frequent absences of the specific/uncertain student(s).This assessment can bereconsidered within pandemic conditions where the attendance can be replaced with the submission of
assignments.
