Inhaltsangabe

This book illuminates the basic concepts of quantum chemistry, and emphasizes atomic structure but not molecular applications. The author starts with a survey of the basic ideas and problems of wave/particle duality, the nature of wave function, and its statistical interpretation. He then discusses some important applications of Schrodinger's equation to chemically relevant situations, and probes the structure of the hydrogen atom, multiple-electron atoms and the periodic table of elements. The emphasis throughout is on the physical concepts and their concrete application.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

A basic understanding of quantum theory is necessary in many areas of chemistry, especially those of spectroscopy and atomic and molecular structure. This book provides an introduction to quantum theory for student in chemistry.The emphasis throughout is on physical concepts and their applications. The historical context is given for key topics, with modern illustrations to show important applications. Basic calculus and the properties of elementary trigonometric and exponential functions are assumed but other essential concepts in mathematics and classical physics are introduced as required.
