This text introduces quantum mechanics (QM) for physical chemistry using model problems: free particle, particle-in-a-box, harmonic oscillator, rigid rotor, and hydrogen atom. It starts with the postulates for introductory QM, presents early experiments requiring QM, gives explanations of the math, illustrations of the concepts with PC Apps, and ends with the model problems. Readers can download PC Apps for use as mentioned in the discourse. This text offers a better pathway to advanced QM putting analytical and matrix methods on equal footing. Spectroscopic examples are integrated throughout.
