Description
Physical chemistry is the study of how matter behaves on a molecular and atomic level and how chemical reactions take place. In physical chemistry, mastery of a concept is exhibited by the ability to solve problems. A degree in physical chemistry prepares students for a career in materials science, engineering, industry, and government labs. Physical chemists often work closely with materials scientists to research and develop potential uses for new functional materials. Many people trained as physical chemists ultimately work as analytical chemists, where they work to understand the fundamental process involved in analytical techniques. Prerequisite: A grade C- or better in CHEM-1217C, CHEM-1225C, CHEM-3545, PHYS-1310C, MATH-1220, CHEME-222, or permission of instructor.
