Electrons, Atoms and Molecules - A Peek into Quantum Chemistry

Explore the fascinating realm of subatomic phenomena and unlock the secrets behind chemical behavior in this 59-minute webinar from the Centre for Quantum Technologies. Discover how electrons and their wave-like nature form the foundation of atomic structure and molecular bonding through thought-provoking experiments including double-slit electron diffraction and the Stern-Gerlach experiment. Gain firsthand insights into quantum mechanical concepts while deepening your grasp of standard pre-university curricula and developing curiosity about potential applications of quantum mechanics to chemistry. Presented by CQT Graduate Chee Chong Hian as part of the Singapore Ministry of Education's Pre-U Science Learning Series, this session bridges fundamental quantum physics with practical chemical understanding.
