Offering
a distinct emphasis on the behavior of matter from the molecular viewpoint, this
book is designed for a one-semester undergraduate course on physical chemistry
for engineers and materials scientists. After a brief introductory review of the
basic thermodynamic foundations, the book covers three core areas of physical
chemistry -- quantum chemistry, statistical mechanics, and kinetics. A
final chapter provides case histories that use molecular modeling to solve
engineering problems. The book includes a broad range of exercises
throughout, and an Instructor's Manual is available for adopting professors.
