No longer offered. It’s in Waterloo’s scanned calendars from 1968–69 to 1968–69 (before that, 1963–64 to 1967–68 used the number for Atomic and Molecular Structure); the 1995–96 to 2023–24 calendars are on ucalendar.
Measurement and presentation of spectra. Pure rotational spectra for simple molecules. Vibration of molecules vibration-rotation specra, anharmonicity effects. Raman and infra-red spectroscopy, technique and applications. Electronic spectra for atoms and simple molecules. Franck-Condon principle. Charge-transfer and ligand-induced d-transfer spectra. Spin resonance spectroscopy, N.M.R. and E.S.R. 3 lectures, one term. 35, Electrochemistry. Electrolysis, electrolytic conductance and transport; reversible and irreversible electrode potentials; thermodynamics of electrolytic solutions. Introduction to electroanalytical methods. Application of electro-chemistry to selected electrolytic processes and to the study of metallic corrosion. 3 tectures, 3 hours laboratory, alternate weeks, one term.
As printed in the 1968–69 calendar, read by OCR; the scanned page is the original.

Another title: Atomic and Molecular Structure, probably a different course under the same number (or a misread scan).
Introduction to the quantum-mechanical theory of chemical bonding. Atomic and molecular orbitals. The spatial arrangements of atoms and molecules. Methods of structure determination. Covalent bond lengths and angles. Crystal chemistry of ionic substances. The stereochemistry of various elements and their compounds.
3 lectures, one term.
