Atkins' Physical Chemistry is widely acknowledged by both students and lecturers around the globe to be the textbook of choice for studying physical chemistry. Now in its eleventh edition, the text has been re- organised into discrete Topics, breaking down material to help you build confidence, and grouped into overarching Focuses, to show you the bigger picture. Enhanced with additional learning features and maths support, the text helps you learn more effectively with: detailed annotations of worked examples, broken into clear steps with sign-posted 'physical interpretation' sections: a new 'How is that done?' feature, which brings you to a question by leading you through the solution; 'Chemist's toolkits', which provide you with succinct reminders of mathematical concepts and techniques right where you need them. This volume covers quantum chemistry, spectroscopy, and statistical thermodynamics. Beginning with an examination of the structures and properties of individual atoms and molecules, the volume then goes on to show how strucutral data are used to predict and explain the bulk thermodynamics properties and the ways that intermolecular forces lead to the aggregation of molecules. This volume ends with a consideration of how molecular properties influence the properties of the resulting liquids and solids, and how the structure of these condensed phases are determined. -- From back cover.
