Prerequisites
C4660 Basic Physical Chemistry
Prior study of basic physical chemistry assumed (e.g. C4660), some knowledge of calculus (M1010 Mathematics I and M2010 Mathematics II or similar) and physics is useful, but not a prerequisite.
Course Enrolment Limitations
The course is also offered to the students of the fields other than those the course is directly associated with.

Course objectives
After completing this course students will understand fundamental concepts of theoretical chemistry to real chemical systems with an emphasis on the relationships between the microscopic structure and macroscopic properties of matter. Students will develop quantitative skills for interpreting the behavior of matter by physical theories. Topics will include quantum theory, chemical statistics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, and kinetics. Course C4660 must be passed before admission to the module is granted.
