Textbook of Physical Chemistry

Physical Chemistry Alberto Otero de la Roza

This text follows the mainstream core principles of physical chemistry in a way that highlights statistical thermodynamics with its applications. Starting with the thermodynamics of ideal gases, it leads to the kinetic theory of gases and detailed molecular behavior descriptions. The text also enters the domain of chemical kinetics, describing reaction rates as they relate to many variables. The book explores surface adsorption and transport phenomena, aiding in the illustration of the comprehension of molecules in the behavior at the interface and in motion. The book on physical chemistry was created for higher class students. The book is a very rigorous approach to physical chemistry with clear explanations and practical insights into molecular dynamics and thermodynamic principles.

Atkin's Physical Chemistry

Atkin's Physical Chemistry is one of the most informative and most highly appreciated textbooks in the field of physical chemistry, covering topics from equilibrium through properties of gases to thermodynamic laws and physical transformations of materials. The book also touches on such key matters as quantum theory, atomic structure, molecular symmetry, and molecular spectroscopy. Advanced subjects are also covered namely, statistical thermodynamics, reaction kinetics, and molecular reaction dynamics. The book is suited for students and researchers wishing to delve deeper into the principles that govern chemical behavior at the molecular level, explained clearly and in depth.
