Sinopsis Kandungan Kursus / Synopsis of Course Content
Part A: Principle of Thermodynamics and Equilibrium Processes. Definitions of system, heat, and
work. The Zeroth Law and heat flow direction. Discussion of the First, Second, and Third Laws,
along with relevant state functions. Criteria for spontaneous and equilibrium (reversible) processes.
Application of thermodynamics to chemical equilibrium and electrochemistry.

Part B: Electrochemistry and Chemical Kinetics. Introduction to electrochemistry, electrochemical
cells, standard potential and its application, Nernst equation, and thermodynamic properties from the
study of electrochemistry. Rate of reaction, rate laws, orders of reaction, Arrhenius equation, concept
of activation energy, and approximation to steady state conditions.

Part C: Quantum Mechanics. The origin of quantum theory; Postulates and general principles of
quantum mechanics: wavefunction, operator, eigenfunction, eigenvalue, probability, average
value and Schrodinger equation; Dynamic and motion of simple microscopic systems: translational
motion, harmonic oscillator and vibrational motion, angular momentum and rotational motion;
Electronic structures of hydrogen like atoms: hydrogen atom, atomic orbital, Pauli principle,
Aufbau principle, Hund's rules, electron configuration, Slater determinant, angular momentum
coupling, atomic terms, spin-orbit and other interactions, symmetry, atomic spectra and
selection rules. Introduction to spectroscopy, radiation and matter; The electromagnetic spectrum;
absorption; stimulated and spontaneous emission; spectral intensity and bandwidth; Brief
introduction to NMR, rotational, vibrational and electronic spectroscopy.
