Description
Chemistry students need a basic understanding of quantum theory and its applications in atomic and molecularstructure and spectroscopy. This book develops the basic concepts needed as background, and discusses atomic structure but not molecular applications. The first two chapters are concerned with the basic ideas and problems of wave-particle duality, the nature of wavefunction, and its statistical interpretation. Chapter 3 discusses some important applications of Schrodinger’s equation to chemically relevant situations. Chapters 4 and 5 deal respectively with the hydrogen atom, and with the structure of many electron atoms and the periodic table of elements. The emphasis throughout is on the physical concepts and their concrete application. The required background in mathematics is elementary calculus and the properties of trigonometric and exponential functions, but not complex numbers. Necessary concepts of classical physics are developed as required.

Editorial Reviews: From the Back Cover 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.

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:
⭐Condition was as expected, great book for the price, will buy from this seller again!
⭐By no means is this an extensive treatment of Quantum Mechanics, but that’s what I was expecting. This touches on all the trivial things on should keep in the back of their mind when learning QM. Using this as a primer for a thorough QM treatment will really help you master the material. The book is short and can be easily covered in about two weeks including working on the problems. Also the price is very attractive!
⭐Great, easy and short beginners textbook 🙂 I really needed a refresher on this topic and this book was very helpful. Also the delivery was prompt. Thumbs up all around 🙂
⭐Very handy to have and review prime concepts
⭐I didn’t expect it’s black and white
⭐Small footprint used cleverly. Highly useful for quick revision
