First published with the aim to present chemistry as a series of unifying principles rather than a collection of isolated facts, this book has become a classic in the field. Written by the Nobel Prize-winning author, Pauling introduces key concepts such as \u003cstrong\u003eatomic and molecular structure\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003equantum mechanics\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003estatistical mechanics\u003c\/strong\u003e, and \u003cstrong\u003ethermodynamics\u003c\/strong\u003e while making connections between these abstract theories and the observed properties of substances.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003ethird edition\u003c\/strong\u003e of this comprehensive work has been updated and revised to provide even more clarity and depth. While the book still retains its balance between \u003cstrong\u003etheoretical and descriptive chemistry\u003c\/strong\u003e, the focus has been refined to correlate the theories of \u003cstrong\u003equantum mechanics\u003c\/strong\u003e with practical applications, particularly in relation to the \u003cstrong\u003eelectronic structure\u003c\/strong\u003e of atoms and \u003cstrong\u003eelectronegativity\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePauling introduces quantum mechanics in an accessible way, beginning with the \u003cstrong\u003ede Broglie wavelength of the electron\u003c\/strong\u003e and developing the \u003cstrong\u003equantized energy levels\u003c\/strong\u003e of particles in a box. Though the Schrödinger equation is not solved for every system, important concepts like \u003cstrong\u003ehydrogen-like wave functions\u003c\/strong\u003e are explored in detail. Additionally, \u003cstrong\u003estatistical mechanics\u003c\/strong\u003e is introduced early, providing a foundation for the discussion of \u003cstrong\u003ethermodynamics\u003c\/strong\u003e, a reflection of Pauling's belief that students can grasp statistical mechanics more easily than chemical thermodynamics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book is geared towards first-year college students majoring in chemistry or related fields, and its \u003cstrong\u003elogical, clear, and understandable style\u003c\/strong\u003e makes complex concepts approachable. With over \u003cstrong\u003e75 pages of appendices\u003c\/strong\u003e covering topics such as \u003cstrong\u003emolecular symmetry\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003ehybrid bond orbitals\u003c\/strong\u003e, and \u003cstrong\u003emagnetic properties of substances\u003c\/strong\u003e, the book serves as both a textbook and an invaluable reference for anyone pursuing a deeper understanding of chemistry.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dover","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49574967050544,"sku":"Sarat_9780486656229","price":2550.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0690\/9968\/4144\/files\/71X3vjoclxL_06a85688-5951-4aae-b298-e6f19f2469d7.jpg?v=1756721517","url":"https:\/\/www.retailmaharaj.com\/products\/general-chemistry","provider":"Retail Maharaj","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
