Computers, Structure and Bonding

Catalog description

An intermediate level presentation of the fundamental ideas of metallic, ionic and covalent bonding. The consequences of these bonding schemes are then related to the plenitude of three dimensional chemical, biochemical, and crystalline structure. The latest computer software of interest to chemists and biochemists is incorporated in a hands on approach in order to render chemical structures and deduce chemical properties based on the bonding pertinent to those structures using the computer for chemical literature searching and manuscript preparation. Three lectures. Prerequisites: CHEM 309 , CHEM 320 , and CHEM 335 .
