1. From electrons and nuclei to molecules to bulk phase: classical mechanics, quantum mechanics, and statistical mechanics. 2. Schrödinger equation and the solution for a particle in a box: electron structure of polyenes and solids, tunneling. 3. The origin of the chemical bond: electronic structure of atoms, Schrödinger equation for molecules and its solution. 4. Structure of many-atom molecules and computational quantum chemistry: hybridization, Hückel method, ligand field, weak intermolecular interactions, potential energy surface, molecular symmetry. 5. Watching molecules I: absorption and emission of radiation, rotational, IR, and Raman spectra, NMR, diffraction. 6. Watching molecules II: electron spectroscopy, photochemistry, lasers. 7. Electric, magnetic, and optical properties of molecules, intermolecular forces and molecular models. 8. Principles of statistical thermodynamics I: ensembles, probability, Boltzmann distribution, mean values. 9. Principles of statistical thermodynamics II: entropy and the partition function. 10. Ideal gas: first-principle calculation of thermodynamic functions. 11. Liquids and dense gases: virial expansion, structure and correlation functions. 12. Kinetic theory of gases. 13. Theory of chemical reactions: traveling on the potential energy surface, collision theory, transition state theory. Reaction mechanisms. 14.
