Topic	Is pchem basically the chemistry aspect of quantum mechanics?

Hexagon posted... pchem is the quantum mechanics aspect of quantum mechanics. It's where it all started. What's the difference in the curriculum between pchem and quantum mechanics? pchem is a course, quantum mechanics is a subject. That question doesn't even make sense. So is QM, isn't it? Yes there are physics courses on the subject of quantum mechanics, but pchem looks at many things quantum mechanics is just one section, there is also spectoscopy and other things like thermodynamics. That's what I was trying to say. I suppose what I'm trying to ask is... in a syllabus on pchem vs a syllabus on QM, what would be the topics covered in each of those classes and how would they contrast? Well a pchem course will spend a few weeks of a semester long course and introduce quantum mechanics and the basic fundamental ideas and a few equations. A QM course is a semester long so it will do the same and then expand on everything in great detail. If you're taking pchem you'll probably see the quantization of energy through Planck's equation, Einsteins experiment, the shrodinger equation, particle in a box, energy modes, uncertainty principle, blackbody radiation equation, heat capacity equation. At least that's what I learned. <cite>Hexagon posted [p:886435119] in Is pchem b...
