This book is a physical chemistry textbook that presents the
essentials of physical chemistry as a logical sequence from its
most modest beginning to contemporary research topics. Many books
currently on the market focus on the problem sets with a cursory
treatment of the conceptual background and theoretical material,
whereas this book is concerned only with the conceptual development
of the subject. Comprised of 19 chapters, the book will
address ideal gas laws, real gases, the thermodynamics of simple
systems, thermochemistry, entropy and the second law, the Gibbs
free energy, equilibrium, statistical approaches to thermodynamics,
the phase rule, chemical kinetics, liquids and solids, solution
chemistry, conductivity, electrochemical cells, atomic theory, wave
mechanics of simple systems, molecular orbital theory, experimental
determination of molecular structure, and photochemistry and the
theory of chemical kinetics.
