introduction to quantum mechanics with applications to chemistry

Processes by which substances are transformed to one or several products are called chemical reactions. Chemical processes that occur in the presence of light, like sunlight, are called photochemical reactions. These processes can occur naturally or under controlled conditions in the laboratory. To..

Applications of Electrolysis - Electrolysis has various applications. Some of them are mentioned below: a) Electroplating or coating of metals. b) Electrorefining or purification of metals. c) Electrometallurgy or extraction of metals from metallic ore..

Quantum Theory of Covalent Bond - Although the Lewis structures give an idea of the valence electrons around the atom, in reality it does not precisely locate the position of the electrons in the chemical bond. The behaviour of electrons in molecules and compounds is made by the valence b..

Study of chemistry is important for the simple reason that, many chemicals find applications in almost all aspects of our daily life. The flow chart given below illustrates the importance of chemistry in our daily lif..

Organic compounds are isolated either from natural sources or from reaction mixtures. These compounds are seldom pure and are usually contaminated with small amounts of other similar compounds, which are found to exist together or formed during the reaction. In order to characterize them, it ..

We have already seen the ability of transition elements to form coordination compounds. This property is however not restricted to transition elements alone. It is also exhibited by certain other metals although to a lesser extent. In this unit we study the different aspects of coordination compoun..

Electrochemistry is a branch of chemistry, which deals with the relationship between electrical energy and chemical changes taking place in redox reactions. i.e., how chemical energy or how electrical energy can be used to bring about a redox reaction which is otherwise not spontane..
