CBMS207: Physical Chemistry
Physical chemistry investigates the "laws of chemistry". That is, it is the branch of chemistry whose primary concern is to explain and interpret the physical and chemical properties of matter, and the development of techniques for their investigation. It provides a fundamental theoretical and experimental basis for all of chemistry. This unit explores some of the methods used in modern chemistry to determine structure and function, especially spectroscopy, and deals with three main themes of thermodynamics, kinetics and quantum theory.
