Lecture Description
This lecture is devoted to the electron diffraction experiment of 1927, where the wavelike nature of electron beams was experimentally established, thus supporting an underlying principle of quantum mechanics. Professor Sylvia Ceyer discusses how to calculate λ from θ, de Broglie wavelength, and concludes with Schrodinger's equation of motion for matter waves.
Course Description
This is an introductory chemistry course, emphasizing basic principles of atomic and molecular electronic structure, thermodynamics, acid-base and redox equilibria, chemical kinetics, and catalysis. This course also introduces the chemistry of biological, inorganic, and organic molecules.
