Synopsis

This elegant book provides a student-friendly introduction to the subject of physical chemistry. It is by the author of the very successful Basic Chemical Thermodynamics and is written in the same well-received popular style. It is concise and more compact than standard textbooks on the subject and emphasises the two important topics underpinning the subject: quantum mechanics and the second law of thermodynamics. Both topics are challenging to students because they focus on uncertainty and probability. The book explains these fundamental concepts clearly and shows how they offer the key to understanding a wide range of chemical phenomena including atomic and molecular spectra, the structure and properties of solids, liquids and gases, chemical equilibrium and the rates of chemical reactions. This revised edition has enabled improvements and corrections to be made.

Revue de presse

"A particularly useful aspect of this book is that it avoids unnecessary mathematical manipulation. This is a book I would recommend to all undergraduates studying physical chemistry. Smith writes clearly and eloquently, he is a master of the subject and his text helps to demystify many of the complexities of this lovely subject. The book does as the title proposes, it processes a clear and concise route to understanding physical chemistry." --Professor Graham J. Hutchings FRS, Professor of Physical Chemistry, Cardiff University, UK
