Reading - Week 3 Chapter 12   We finish Chapter 12 with a study of angular momentum and the hydrogen atom. This atom is the key to much of the rest of our study of bonding. We also introduce particle spin in this chapter.

Reading - Week 4 Chapters 12 and 13   Chapter 13 discusses the important approximation methods needed for systems of more than two interacting particles. We will also explore atoms in general -- their electronic structure and energies.

Reading - Week 5 Chapters 13 and 14   Chapter 14 introduces chemical bonding. We will focus on the H2 and H2+ molecules at first, then move on to molecules in general. Electronic structure is the focus here.

Reading - Weeks 6 and 7 Chapter 14 and 18   We finish Chapter 14 with several important models of polyatomic molecular bonding. Chapter 18 introduces radiation/matter interactions, particularly with atoms.
