Quantum mechanical view

The quantum mechanical view of Raman scatering sees a radiation field hvo inducing a transition from a lower level A to a level n. If vnlc is the transition frequency, then the inelastically scattered light has frequency v0 — v t. That is, the molecule removes energy hv k from an incident photon. This process corresponds to Stokes scattering. Alternatively, a molecule under-...

There are two principal methods of performing computational conformational analyses Molecular mechanics(18-19) and quantum mechanics.(20) Molecular mechanics consideres a molecule as a set of balls (the atoms), coated with sticking paste, connected by a set of springs (the bonds) according to a prescribed set of valence angles. Quantum mechanics views the molecule as a set of nuclei in space with electrons moving about the nuclei. 

This picture—the modern picture of the atom—is hard to accept. Electrons can act as wave or particle, and their positions in an atom are governed by probabilities. The quantum mechanical view of the atom seems weird—because it is weird. But quantum mechanics beautifully explains the behavior of atoms. For example, chemists can now use quantum mechanics to predict the nature of the chemical bond that forms when atoms combine.

We begin with an introduction to this method as applied to elastic (energy-state unchanging) collisions. First we look at scattering using classical mechanics and then we provide a quantum mechanical view. 

For a still broader perspective on this subject, let us consider the classical and quantum mechanics view of the separation between the individual and the world around him or her. In the classical (mechanistic) point of view, the individual is defined through his mind as epitomized by Descartes famous statement "Cogito ergo sum", "I think, therefore, I exist". This mind, thus, is completely separated from the world around it it is the intelligence that, according to Laplace s aforementioned statement, could - as an outside observer - make the future and the past "equally present to its eyes".
