Physical Chemistry

Physical Chemistry deals with the overlap of Physics and Chemistry, and the curriculum is built off of the firm foundation provided in freshman chemistry. Be prepared for a fun-filled course that goes in-depth into a variety of topics using advanced laboratory techniques to supplement student learning, and deep theoretical discussions that cater to students' thirst for knowledge.

Students study topics related to chemical thermodynamics, quantum chemistry, chemical kinetics, chemical equilibrium, and chemical reactions. They learn practical applications through examination of various heat engines and different models of atoms, polyatomic molecules, and atomic bonding. Organic chemistry topics are introduced through the use of instrumentation
