Foundations Of Physics For Chemists

This series of short texts provides accessible accounts of a range of essential topics in chemistry and chemical engineering. Written with the needs of the student in mind, the Oxford Chemistry Primers offer just the right level of detail for undergraduate study, and will be invaluable as a source of material commonly presented in lecture courses yet not adequately covered in existing texts. All the basic principles and facts in a particular area are presented in a clear and straightforward style, to produce concise yet comprehensive accounts of topics covered in both core and specialist courses. Foundations of Physics for Chemists is a concise and clearly written Primer aimed at the undergraduate student of chemistry taking a course in physics. Students will find all the information presented directly applicable to the concepts and examples that they will encounter throughout an undergraduate course in chemistry. The authors present the fundamental physics required for a full understanding of a diverse range of chemical phenomena and techniques such as diffraction, reaction rates and nuclear magnetic resonance.
