DESCRIPTION& OBJECTIVES

Physical chemistry-II is designed for the students of M.Sc II semester and BS-VI semester in order to teach the students the detailed objectives, theory, mathematical calculations of three major and most important  fields of Physical chemistry like Quantum mechanics, Statistical mechanics and Electrochemistry.  It enables the students to apply the concepts of Quantum treatment on very simple and some of the complex molecules. Quantum chemistry is a very powerful tool for  studying  the properties of molecules and their reactions taking place between the molecules. The recent years’ development in quantum chemistry methods, especially in theoretical methods has made it possible for quantum chemistry calculations to reach accuracies comparable to those obtained in experiments for molecules of moderate sizes. This is further facilitated by the rapid development of computer technologies that has greatly encouraged the chemists to use quantum chemistry to understand, simulate model, and predict molecular properties and their reactions, properties of nanometer materials, and reactions and processes taking place in biological systems. While doing so the Statistical mechanics plays the role of a bridge between the two concepts.
