"Elementary" is often used to denote a level at which one is exposed superficially to a body of knowledge which will probably never be used again. The term, as used here, implies the lowest level of completeness and sophistication necessary in order for the chemist to acquire the competence needed to begin a serious, nontrivial understanding of the research literature of the late twentieth cent…
Solid state chemistry is an area of research which is undoubtedly vigorous and lively, but one which is not easily defined. The reviews in this volume concentrate on those aspects of solid state science which are of general interest to inorganic chemists, including the study of complex crystal structures and the principles underlying their formation.
This book grew out of our experience in teaching physical chemistry to undergraduate students majoring in chemistry, biochemistry, and the biological sciences. The following objectives, illustrated with brief examples, outline the distinctive features.
A common complaint in the annual reports of 'A' level examiners in organic chemistry has been that "candidates have memorized but not studied their chemistry. The facts were known, but deductions from the facts were not forthcoming. Reasons for processes were not understood and reaction conditions were dealt with by guesswork".
The purpose of this text is to describe and explain the intellectual tools used in the systematization of inorganic chemistry. This aim cannot be achieved in a vacuum, and therefore the text includes a large amount of descriptive material. It is assumed that the reader has completed a one-year course in general chemistry and an introductory course in organic chemistry.
This guide will help hone your analytical and problem-solving skills by presenting detailed approaches to solving chemical problems; tutorial solutions for many of the end-of-chapter problems in the text; and several new problems for each chapter, as well as strategies for solving them. The focus of the new problems in on real applications of chemical concepts, both in everyday life and in rela…
Chemical Kinetics is important for understanding a number of processes, including how food is metabolized, how pharmaceuticals function in a biological system, and how pollutants produced by gasoline combustion are converted for release into the atmosphere. the revolution in computational modeling necessitates an updated text that maintains the relevant traditional background while introducing …
