Molecular Electronic-Structure Theory

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Molecular electronic-structure theory uses quantum mechanics to calculate the energies and wave functions of molecules and their molecular properties. It uses sophisticated mathematics and computers to solved the wave equations. The calculations can be used to find out how the atoms of the molecule are linked together in a molecule.
