| •Course Purpose |
| The purpose of this course is to employ the principles of quantum mechanics to study chemical bonding and molecular structure.
By the end of this course, students should be equipped with knowledge and skills concerning the following: 1) Understand the electronic structure of atoms and molecules 2) Understand the electronic spectroscopy of diatomic and polyatomic molecules 3) Perform simple calculations using computational chemistry software 4) Apply group theory to study molecules |

| •Grade Assessment |
| Students will be evaluated based on one midterm exam (25% weight), one final exam (comprehensive, 45%
weight), and homework (30% weight). Homework will be given at the end of each class. Homework must be submitted before the next class starts. The penalty for homework submitted late should be 10% of the maximum mark per day late. Both midterm and final exams will be written. Grade evaluation will be according to the GPA System at Nagoya University. Students who enrolled AY2020 and onward: "A+": 100-95%, "A": 95-80%, "B": 80-70%, "C": 70-65%, "C-": 65-60%, "F": 60-0%. Students who enrolled before AY2020: "S": 100-90%, "A": 90-80%, "B": 80-70%, "C": 70-60%, "F": 60-0%. To receive a passing grade, a score of at least 60% is required. |
| •Notes |
| Face-to-face and real-time online lectures combined. The records of the lectures will be provided on Microsoft Teams. |
| •Contacting Faculty |
| By email or online meetings. In-person meetings during office hours can be also organized.
