5.111 Principles of Chemical Science
5.111 Principles of Chemical Science (Fall 2014, MIT OCW). Instructor: Professor Catherine Drennan. This course provides an introduction to the chemistry of biological, inorganic, and organic molecules. The emphasis is on basic principles of atomic and molecular electronic structure, thermodynamics, acid-base and redox equilibria, chemical kinetics, and catalysis. One year of high school chemistry is the expected background for this freshman-level course.
Lecture 07 - Multi-electron Atoms. After focusing on the hydrogen atom for several lectures, the course moves on to consider atoms with more than one electron. Now, the pull of the positively charged nucleus on the negatively charged electron is harder to predict as shielding comes into play. Also, we try our hand at electron configurations.
