List of Chemistry Notes

Filter By:   All | Inorganic | Organic | Physical | 1st Year | 2nd Year | 3rd Year
Physical - 3rd Year Undergraduate
Starts with basic revision of Statistical Mechanics, then moves on to 2-Level Systems, Equilibrium Constants, etc (the more common exam questions!)
Physical - 2nd Year Undergraduate
Notes mostly from the Primer, starting with Hydrogen then moving to Alkali Metals and Helium.
Physical - 1st Year Undergraduate
Notes from the Primer, with examples.
Physical - 3rd Year Undergraduate
Short notes specific to Electronic Spectroscopy, e.g. Selection Rules. Recommend the other Molecular Spectroscopy Notes first.
Physical - 1st Year Undergraduate
Basic Ideas, Activation Energies, Steady State Approximation, then more complex reactions such as Enzyme Kinetics
Physical - 3rd Year Undergraduate
Some great notes on this topic taken from some lecture notes from a few years before me.
Physical - 2nd Year Undergraduate
Covers microscopic and macroscopic interactions. Moves on to Mixtures and De-Bye Huckel Theory and so on. There are some gaps in this early on.
Physical - 2nd Year Undergraduate
Contains basic facts to know, and an introduction to approximations and selection rules for molecular energy levels.
Physical - 3rd Year Undergraduate
Based on lecture notes in Photochemistry. Bit short.
Physical - 3rd Year Undergraduate
Theory behind NMR, and nature of Chemical Shifts and Spin Coupling. Moves on to Chemical Exchange and Relaxation Mechanisms.
Physical - 2nd Year Undergraduate
Covers basics and postulates, before moving onto applications, e.g. particle in a box, on a ring, etc etc.
Physical - 3rd Year Undergraduate
Concentrates on bimolecular reactions and Transition State Theory, and includes things like the Kinetic Isotope Effect and Temperature-dependence.
Physical - 2nd Year Undergraduate
Discussion of basic formulae, selection rules and so on relevant to rotational spectroscopy.
Physical - 2nd Year Undergraduate
Incorporates Vibrational Energy Levels into molecular spectroscopy, so covering IR and Raman.
Physical - 2nd Year Undergraduate
Covers origins of molecular partition function, then addresses translational, rotational, vibrational and electronic components.
Physical - 3rd Year Undergraduate
Fairly brief notes on isotherms and rates of reactions at surfaces. Also some experimental methods at the end. Not my favourite topic!
Physical - 1st Year Undergraduate
Starts with simplistic uses of the laws of thermodynamics before moving onto Phase Equilibria, Phase Diagrams and Mixtures.
Physical - 3rd Year Undergraduate
Starts with the background to the approximations involved in this, then works through the Variation Principle and how it applies to a range of simple molecules. Finishes with Huckel Theory.
