An Introduction to Spectroscopy, Atomic Structure and Chemical Bonding (2nd Edition) (Ebook)

Description

by Terry L. Meek

The second edition of An Introduction to Spectroscopy, Atomic Structure and Chemical Bonding again combines a thorough development of spectroscopic concepts and methods with an equally thorough and teachable account of atoms, molecules and solids. The book presents the most fundamental concepts of Inorganic Chemistry at a level appropriate for first year students and in a manner understandable to them. It contains many useful figures illustrating (among other things) the angular dependence of atomic wave functions; the derivation of energy level diagrams for polyatomic molecules; the structures of close packed lattices and ionic crystals. Diagrams show the periodic variation of atomic and molecular properties across periods and down groups simultaneously, giving concise chemical insights that should remain in the student’s mind throughout his career.
