    About this ebook

    Principles of Quantum Chemistry focuses on the application of quantum mechanics in physical models and experiments of chemical systems. This book describes chemical bonding and its two specific problems — bonding in complexes and in conjugated organic molecules. The very basic theory of spectroscopy is also considered. Other topics include the early development of quantum theory; particle-in-a-box; general formulation of the theory of quantum mechanics; and treatment of angular momentum in quantum mechanics. The examples of solutions of Schroedinger equations; approximation methods in quantum chemistry; symmetry in chemistry; and molecular-orbital theory are also covered. This publication is recommended for students taking undergraduate and graduate courses in quantum chemistry.

      Lessons For A Young Scientist

      Jan 9, 2020

      I sometimes worry that many who would enjoy a scientific career are put off by a narrow and outdated conception of what’s involved. The word “scientist” still conjures up an unworldly image of an Einstein lookalike (male and elderly) or else a youthf

      Actually, There Is a Time Like the Present
