Theoretical Chemistry II course
Theoretical Chemistry II
Lecturers: prof. Adam Liwo, dr hab. Artur Giełdoń
Program Content:
Description of molecule geometry. Cartesian and internal coordinates. Description of potential energy hypersurface. Minima, maxima, first-order saddle points and their physical meaning. HIgher saddle points. Empirical force fields and their applications. Methods of local energy minimization. Normal vibrations of the molecules. Molecular dynamics. Equations of motion and methods of their numerical solving. The Monte Carlo method. Statistical mechanics: Elements of probability, distributions of random variables, averages and fluctuations. Density of states. Statistical groups: micro-canonical, canonical, grand canonical, isothermal-isobaric. Boltzmann distribution. The principle of equipartition of energy. Functions of the division of statistical units and their derivatives and their relationship to thermodynamic quantities. Molecular interpretation of energy, entropy, thermodynamic potentials and chemical potentials and its relationship to phenomenological interpretation. Entropy and information theory. Bose-Einstein and Fermi-Dirac statistics. Functions of the division of non-interacting particle systems and of two- and multi-atomic molecules. Calculation of thermodynamic corrections to thermodynamic functions of gas phase chemicals in approximate harmonic. Calculation of the equilibrium constants of chemical reactions in the gas phase based on the first principles. Calculation of the partition function of imperfect gases.
