Peter Atkins' Very Short Introduction explores the contributions physical chemistry has made to all branches of chemistry.
The proton, a positively charged particle, was identified by Ernest Rutherford in 1911. Following Rutherford and Marsden's classic experiments with metal foil scattering in 1908, Rutherford proposed the nuclear ...
If you are interested in asking 'why' and not just 'how', then you need to understand physical chemistry. Physical Chemistry: How Chemistry Works takes a fresh approach to teaching in physical chemistry.
This elegant book provides a student-friendly introduction to the subject of physical chemistry.
This book specifically emphasizes the use of mathematics in the context of physical chemistry, as opposed to being simply a mathematics text.
This revision of the introductory textbook of physical chemistry has been designed to broaden its appeal, particularly to students with an interest in biological applications.
This book is designed for a one-semester course, for undergraduates, not necessarily chemistry majors, who need to know something about physical chemistry.
V= nRT/p V ∫Vdp pi Pressure, p pf Fig. 3F.5 At constant temperature, the change in Gibbs energy for a perfect gas between two pressures is equal to the area shown below the perfect-gas isotherm. N = n N A energy of a perfect gas at a ...
