University
Undergraduate chemistry (L1–L3): quantum mechanics applied to the atom, bonding theory (MO, hybridization), chemical thermodynamics, advanced kinetics, electrochemistry, advanced organic, inorganic, spectroscopies. Nine chapters to master the concepts that structure research, industry, and computational chemistry. The final chapter bridges to graduate work.
