This course provides an introudctino to general chemistry with an emphasis on computational approaches using Python. Beginning with fundamental concepts such as atomic mass, molecular mass, chemical formulas, and balanced chemical equations, students learn to apply stoichimetry and limiting reactant calculations through hands-on Pyhton programming exercises.

The course then advances just a little to the theoretical foundations of atomic structure and quantum mechanics, exploring atomic potentials, atomic spectra, blackbody radiation, and wave behavior. By studying the Schrodinger equation, atomic orbitals, radial and angular wavefunctions, and molecular orbitals via Python programming, students develop a deeper understanding of the quantum mechanical principles that govern chemical bonding and molecular structure.
