The study subject "Introduction to Molecular Physical Chemistry, Pauli Principle and Symmetry" is focused on basic principles and ideas of molecular quantum mechanics. The understanding of its basic concepts, thoughts, intellections and perceptions is strongly accented in comparison to detailed mathematical description. The principal attention is devoted to the mutual relations between the stationary states and particle localization, the wave packet and particle movement, the tunnel phenomenon and uniqueness . The attention is also devoted to the uncertainty concept, spin of particles, angular momentum in the quantum mechanics as well as to the basic quantum mechanical systems. The part of this course is dedicated to the molecular symmetry groups (point as well as permutation - inversion groups), their representations and applications. Selected quantum chemistry methods are introduced as well as fundaments of vibrational and rotational spectroscopy. Finally, some lectures are devoted to weak molecular interactions, to molecular partition functions and is formulated a relationship between the classical thermodynamics and the molecular quantum mechanics.

Students obtain an overview on basic principles and ideas of molecular quantum mechanics. The students will understand mutual relations between the stationary states and particle localization, the wave packet and particle movement, the tunnel phenomenon and uniqueness . The attention will be also devoted to the uncertainty concept, spin of particles, angular momentum in the quantum mechanics as well as to the basic quantum mechanical systems. The students will be also understanding the Pauli Exclusion Principle that makes possible to determine spin statistical weights of levels. Finally, obtain an overview on weak molecular interactions, on molecular partition functions and they will understand a relationship between the classical thermodynamics and the molecular quantum mechanics. The part of this course is dedicated to the molecular symmetry groups (point as well as permutation - inversion groups), their representations and applications.
