The Forces Between Molecules

This important book describes at an introductory level the nature of intermolecular forces and their influence on the properties of solids, liquids, and gases. The emphasis is on physical insight, excluding much of the mathematical detail which has proved to be a barrier to understanding at this level. Particular attention has been paid to covering a wide range of systems, including simple molecules, large polyatomics, synthetic and biological polymers, surfaces, and colloids. Each chapter is followed by a set of related exercises. An invaluable text for undergraduate courses concerned with intermolecular forces or molecular theory, and as background reading for other courses dealing with the structure and properties of physical and biological materials.

Oxford University Press

The fourth edition of this widely acclaimed textbook provides a concise and easy-to-understand introduction to chemical thermodynamics.  Beginning with an examination of equilibrium in familiar mechanical objects, the book gives a straightforward account of the factors that determine equilibrium in chemical systems.  The underlying principles of thermodynamics are discussed, then applied to a wide range of physicochemical systems.  The problems of non-ideal solutions and the concept of activity are covered, and the text offers a useful introduction to the molecular basis of thermodynamics.  This new edition is fully illustrated, and features a clearer text design and larger format.  Many new sample problems and worked examples are included.  Students in thermodynamics will continue to find this popular book a clear introduction to an important subject.

Intermolecular forces: Their origin and determination (International series of monographs on chemistry)

The first paperback edition of the popular 1982 text, this book provides a definitive account of our present understanding of the forces between molecules. It presents a critical survey of the intermolecular potentials that have emerged for monatomic and simple polyatomic molecules together with a description of approaches to be applied to more complex systems.

Basic Physical Chemistry: The Route To Understanding (Revised Edition)

This elegant book provides a student-friendly introduction to the subject of physical chemistry. It is by the author of the very successful Basic Chemical Thermodynamics and is written in the same well-received popular style. It is concise and more compact than standard textbooks on the subject and emphasises the two important topics underpinning the subject: quantum mechanics and the second law of thermodynamics. Both topics are challenging to students because they focus on uncertainty and probability. The book explains these fundamental concepts clearly and shows how they offer the key to understanding a wide range of chemical phenomena including atomic and molecular spectra, the structure and properties of solids, liquids and gases, chemical equilibrium and the rates of chemical reactions.This revised edition has enabled improvements and corrections to be made.
