Physical Chemistry

Physical Chemistry is widely acknowledged by students and lecturers around the globe to be the textbook of choice for studying physical chemistry. This International Edition has been carefully developed to provide the information, explanation, and guidance you need to master the subject. Physical Chemistry is a fascinating field of study, which can reasonably be claimed that many parts of physics and all parts of chemistry are included within physical chemistry and its applications. It is said that there are more than four million chemical compounds. If you add to this list composite material like alloys and minerals and intermediate species like the free radicals, it becomes truly staggering. The key concepts of physical chemistry are the ways in which pure physics is applied to chemical problems. One of the key concepts in classical chemistry is that all chemical compounds can be described as groups of atoms bonded together and chemical reactions can be described as the making and breaking of those bonds. Predicting the properties of chemical compounds from a description of atoms and how they bond is one of the major goals of physical chemistry. To describe the atoms and bonds precisely, it is necessary to know both where the nuclei of the atoms are, and how electrons are distributed around them. The book provides simple language clear explanation, and systematic presentation. The book includes, important principles, equations, theorems and concepts.
