Atkins Physical Chemistry epitomises the benchmark of achievement for a chemistry degree throughout the world. Its broad coverage concise explanations & robust mathematical support are clearly presented in an engaging style to furnish students with a solid foundation in the subject. In this ninth edition the authors continue to refine their presentation of physical chemistry. The coverage of introductory topics is streamlined & the addition of a new fundamentals chapter provides students with an overview of key principles on which the subject is based. The text
Includes:: increased coverage of computational chemistry & additional contextual examples of materials chemistry throughout mirroring the current needs of todays students & lecturers. Mathematics remains an intrinsic yet challenging part of physical chemistry. Extensive mathematical support including a Checklist of key equations at the end of every chapter & Mathematical background sections containing worked examples & self-tests empower students to overcome any barriers to understanding that grasping the mathematical content might present. These features help to ensure the reader can master the subject without a need to sacrifice the rigour & depth of the mathematical content. The pedagogical framework which is a hallmark of the authors writing has been further strengthened. New Key points provide summaries of the main take-home messages of each section & enable students to gain an overview of the topic before tackling it in depth; Brief illustrations give a concise insight into how a particular mathematical concept is applied in practice providing students with the opportunity to contextualise their learning. All these exciting new features & innovations are presented within a refreshed full colour text design to stimulate & engage students yet further. The Online Resource Centre contains Living Graphs illustrations from the book & web links. An Instructors Solutions Manual (free to adopters) & a Students Solutions Manual are also available. Access to the Physical Chemistry e Book is also included with the purchase of the printed text. Offering enhanced functionality including notetaking & highlighting it also
Includes:: access to Explorations in Physical Chemistry which contains interactive Excel worksheets & exercises related to the Living Graphs allowing students to visualise actively explore & test their understanding of the subject.
