Physical Chemistry is a groundbreaking new 4-color text that explains core topics in depth with a focus on basic
principles, applications, and modern research. The authors hone in on key concepts and cover them thoroughly
and in detail - as opposed to the general, encyclopedic approach competing textbooks take. Excessive math formalism
is avoided to keep students focused on the most important concepts and to provide greater clarity. Applications
woven throughout each chapter demonstrate to students how chemical theories are used to solve real-world chemical
problems in biology, environmental science, and material science. Extensive coverage of modern research and new
developments in the field get students excited about this dynamic branch of science.
The text has been designed in such a way that it can be used for either "Quantum first" or "Thermo
first" courses. The combined text is arranged for a traditional "Thermo first" course; the split
texts are organized to facilitate "Quantum first" courses.
The online Chemistry Place for Physical Chemistry features interactive problems and simulations that reinforce
and build upon material included in the book.
