- Demonstrate the ability to apply quantum mechanical methods to predict observable properties for molecular motions including translation, rotation and vibration.
- Demonstrate the ability to analyze molecular electronic wave functions to characterize bonding and stability.
- Demonstrate an active knowledge of fundamentals of organic reaction mechanisms and methods for their elucidation, analyzing the mechanism and understand the mechanistic diagrams.
- Demonstrate an understanding of selected topics of physical organic chemistry including stereochemistry principles, and interpret the application of reactive intermediates in chemistry.
- Demonstrate the ability to analyze a wide variety of spectral data to determine an unknown molecule’s composition and structure.
- Demonstrate the ability to evaluate previous scientific conclusions as they apply to a new area of investigation.
- Demonstrate the ability to effectively communicate original scientific findings.
