Summary of Intended Learning Outcomes
At the end of this course students will be able to:
- Demonstrate a detailed knowledge of the factors which determine the energies, intensities and linewidths of the transitions observed in molecular rotation, vibrational and electronic spectra
- Derive, from rotational spectroscopic data, the rotational constant, moment of inertia and bold length of a diatomic molecule, and to relate electron diffraction radial distribution curves to molecular structures
- Demonstrate a basic knowledge of experimental spectroscopic methods
- Draw and interpret phase diagrams
- Understand the thermodynamic factors important in phase transitions and the behaviour of interfacial systems |
