- Course objectives
- This lecture is one of elementary lectures for students of chemistry and biochemistry. Lecture introduces some of the basic principles of quantum mechanics. First, it reviews a principal concepts and the formulations of quantum mechanics, concepts developed on a solutions of wave equation for simple models are extended to an atoms and these can be extended to a description of electronic structures of molecules. Some keywords of the lecture are following: structure of atom-relation between experiment and theory, principles of wave mechanics, simple models, theory of chemical bond (VB, MO), molecular orbital theory for polyatomic molecules.

- Assessment methods (in Czech)
- Výuka je organizována ve čtrnácti dvouhodinových blocích. Jejich obsah odpovídá členění sylabu. Přednáška je doprovázena jednohodinovým seminářem, který má charakter výpočetního cvičení. V rámci semináře je prakticky procvičován aparát předkládaný v přednášce formou práce studentů u tabule, tj. praktickými výpočty a diskusí. V průběhu semestru je rozsah pochopení látky ověřován nejméně dvěma testy, při nichž se předpokládá individuální práce. Je povoleno použití vlastních poznámek, učebnic a dalších pomůcek. Zkouška je ústní, formou rozpravy postupně na dvě zadaná, témata, odpovídající obsahu sylabu přednášky. Rozsah rozpravy zpravidla nepřesahuje 30 minut. Informace poskytované přednáškou, obsahově odpovídají příslušným okruhům Požadavků ke státní závěrečné zkoušce z Fyzikální chemie v magisterském studijním programu Chemie, magisterských studijních oborů Chemie kromě fyzikální chemie, u něhož se předpokládá další studium.
