PB - University Science Books (Viva Books) KW - Chemistry, Physical and theoretical N1 - Includes index N2 - As the first modern physical chemistry textbook to cover quantum mechanics before thermodynamics and kinetics, this book provides a contemporary approach to the study of physical chemistry As the first modern physical chemistry textbook to cover quantum mechanics before thermodynamics and kinetics, this book provides a contemporary approach to the study of physical chemistry. By beginning with quantum chemistry, students will learn the fundamental principles upon which all modern physical chemistry is built. The text includes a special set of “MathChapters” to review and summarize the mathematical tools required to master the material Thermodynamics is simultaneously taught from a bulk and microscopic viewpoint that enables the student to understand how bulk properties of materials are related to the properties of individual constituent molecules. This new text includes a variety of modern research topics in physical chemistry as well as hundreds of worked problems and examples.Translated into French, Italian, Japanese, Spanish and Polish UR - https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/126548663-new-physical-chemistry?from_search=true&from_srp=true&qid=TLcIKN5RDi&rank=6#CommunityReviews ER -
