Kinetics of chemiscal reaction. Introduction to quantum mechanics and spectoscopy. The development of quantum mechanics in this century has led to the possibility of calculating energy levels and other properties of atoms and molecules and provides the basis for understanding spectroscopy.
Statistical mechanics provides a link between the micro and the macro world.
Quantum mechanics and statistical mechanics are needed to for the interpretation of rate constants in chemical kinetics. The kinetic theory of gases uses a simple model to calculate the rates of several processes. Planck equation and the Wien dispacement law. Basic postulates of quantum mechanics and the Schrodinger equation. Particle in a one-dimensional box.
