aspects of the learning process are fully supported, including the understanding of terminology, notation, mathematical concepts, and the application of physical chemistry to other branches of science." "Building on the heritage of the world-renowned Atkins' Physical Chemistry , Quanta, Matter, and Change gives a refreshing new insight into the familiar by illuminating physical chemistry from a new direction." --Book Jacket.
Mastering the fundamentals of physical chemistry is a challenge for many. This edition is designed to attain a thorough understanding of this vital branch of chemistry.
This major revision of the leading textbook in physical chemistry retains its accessibility and authority while being thoroughly updated. The new author team has introduced innovations, including new or rewritten chapters on the solid state, molecular interactions, macromolecules, and electron transfer. Each chapter features a Box highlighting the relevance of the material to modern chemistry, and concludes with a checklist of definitions and key equations. Special attention has been given to the presentation of mathematical derivations and the physical interpretation of equations. The text is modular, allowing for flexible sequencing of topics. The art program has been enhanced, new Discussion questions added, and Further Information sections revised to provide essential background in mathematics and physics. The edition features a new co-author, Julio de Paula, enhancing coverage of biological applications. Margin notes assist with mathematics, and Boxes in each chapter cover various applications. Important equations and definitions are highlighted, and microprojects have been integrated into chapter exercises. The text includes more modern topics, such as computational chemistry
