Course Synopsis

concept of electronic states, electronic transitions, absorption of radiation, and lambda max of radiation. concept of electronic angular momentum and fine structure of H-spectrum. Concept of scattering, Raman scattering, effects of electric and magnetic fields on polarisability of molecules, concepts of symmetric top and spherical top molecules. Basis of qualitative and quantitative analysis.

Course Learning Outcomes

students will learn about the electronic structure of molecules, their energies, and different possible transitions on the absorption of suitable radiation. They will be able to conceive the concept of angular momentum and fine structure of H-spectrum. They will be aware, different types of scatterings especially Raman scattering, molecular polarisability, effects of fields of radiations and so the basis of qualitative and quantitative analysis.
