        Undergraduate Quantum Mechanics in Chemistry Textbooks

        QUANTUM MECHANICS IN CHEMISTRY (PDF) - Authors: Jack Simons and Jeff Nichols; Henry Eyring Center for Theoretical Chemistry, Department of Chemistry, University of Utah Multimedia Quantum Mechanics in Chemistry Textbook (Text & Images).
        Quantum Mechanics in Chemistry
          "...This is a text dealing with the basics of quantum mechanics and electronic structure theory. It provides an introduction to molecular spectroscopy (although most classes on this subject will require additional material) and to the subject of molecular dynamics (whose classes again will require additional material)..."
        Examples of Quantum Mechanics in Chemistry Sections, Chapters & Subchapters include:
          Section 1: Basic Tools of Quantum Mechanics
            Chapter 1: Quantum mechanics describes matter in terms of wavefunctions and energy levels. physical measurements are described in terms of operators acting on wavefunctions;
            Chapter 2: Approximation methods can be used when exact solutions to the Schrödinger equation can not be found;
            Chapter 3: Application of the Schrödinger equation to the motions of electrons and nuclei in a molecule lead to the chemists' picture of electronic energy surfaces on which vibration and rotation occurs and among which transitions take place;
              Subchapter 1: Born-Oppenheimer Separation of Electronic and Nuclear Motions;
              Subchapter 2: Rotation and Vibration of Diatomic Molecules;
          Section 2: Simple Molecular Orbital Theory;
          Section 3: Electronic Configurations, Term Symbols, and States;
          Section 4: Molecular Rotation and Vibration; etc.
