Elements of Physical Chemistry
7th edition

Elements of Physical Chemistry has been carefully developed to enable you to master physical chemistry. Throughout the text, equations are clearly labelled, and "justification" boxes help you understand the crucial derivations that underpin the equations of physical chemistry. Furthermore, Chemist's Toolkits provide succinct reminders of key mathematical techniques right at the point you need them.
Frequent worked examples, self-test questions, and extensive end of Focus exercises help you to build your confidence when solving problems. This diverse suite of learning features, delivered in a fresh, eye-catching way, makes Elements of Physical Chemistry the ideal course text for those studying this core branch of chemistry for the first time. New to this edition : Radically updated structure makes the subject more accessible while also giving you a clearer sense of the bigger picture : short "Topics" are grouped into overarching "Focus" sections.
A new "collect your thoughts" feature suggests how you might go about approaching a particular problem. The start of each Topic poses three questions to motivate your study : why is it important, what is the key idea, and what do you already need to know ? Many derivations and worked examples now include more intermediate steps, helping you to see how to work through a calculation.
