Course Overview
Chemistry: Atomic Structure and Chemical Bonding is a 12-week-long core program offered by IIT Madras. The online course will help the students explore the principles of quantum chemistry in depth and will provide them with a thorough understanding of atomic structure and chemical bonding. The course is worth taking as it is approved by the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE). Chemistry: Atomic Structure and Chemical Bonding Certification Course is recommended for undergraduate and postgraduate students of chemistry who are interested in quantum chemistry.
Though Swayam offers the Chemistry: Atomic Structure and Chemical Bonding online course free of cost, the learners must have to make the payments of the exam fee and crack the certification qualifying exam to get hold of the certificate. The course is designed and taught by Prof. K. Mangala Sunder who is a professor at IIT Madras. To be eligible for the course, Swayam specifies certain prerequisites including mathematical understanding and introductory ideas of modern physics.
