Availability Information

We source books from suppliers in Australia and overseas. For books we don't currently have in stock, the time it takes to get them from our suppliers can vary widely - from a few days to a few months - so we check each book with each supplier to determine the expected time it will take to be supplied to us.

We then advise you accordingly. If the time taken to get any book is too long for you, you can let us know and we will cancel or adjust your order, and refund as required.

Physical chemistry

Summary
Details

This book provides a unique approach to introduce undergraduate students to the concepts and methods of physical chemistry, which are the foundational principles of Chemistry. The book introduces the student to the principles underlying the essential sub-fields of quantum mechanics, atomic and molecular structure, atomic and molecular spectroscopy, statistical thermodynamics, classical thermodynamics, solutions and equilibria, electrochemistry, kinetics and reaction dynamics, macromolecules, and organized molecular assemblies. Importantly, the book develops and applies these principles to supramolecular assemblies and supramolecular machines, with many examples from biology and nanoscience. In this way, the book helps the student to see the frontier of modern physical chemistry developments.

The book begins with a discussion of wave-particle duality and proceeds systematically to more complex chemical systems in order to relate the story of physical chemistry in an intellectually coherent manner. The topics are organized to correspond with those typically given in each of a two course semester sequence. The first 13 chapters present quantum mechanics and spectroscopy to describe and predict the structure of matter: atoms, molecules, and solids. Chapters 14 to 29 present statistical thermodynamics and kinetics and applies their principles to understanding equilibria, chemical transformations, macromolecular properties and supramolecular machines. Each chapter of the book begins with a simplified view of a topic and evolves to more rigorous description, in order to provide the student (and instructor) flexibility to choose the level of rigor and detail that suits them best. The textbook treats important new directions in physical chemistry research, including chapters on macromolecules, principles of interfaces and films for organizing matter, and supramolecular machines -- as well as including discussions of modern nanoscience, spectroscopy, and reaction dynamics throughout the text.
