This part extends the knowledge introduced in the first year quantum mechanics course and discusses the theory behind chemical bonding, as well as spectroscopic characterization. Topics being addressed involve the valence bond theory, hybridization of orbitals, molecular orbital theory, bonding and antibonding orbitals, electronic structures of molecules, introduction spectroscopy, vibrational transitions, rotational transitions and nuclear magnetic resonance.
