aspects of the learning process are fully supported, including the understanding of terminology, notation, mathematical concepts, and the application of physical chemistry to other branches of science." "Building on the heritage of the world-renowned Atkins' Physical Chemistry , Quanta, Matter, and Change gives a refreshing new insight into the familiar by illuminating physical chemistry from a new direction." --Book Jacket.
This volume features a greater emphasis on the molecular view of physical chemistry and a move away from classical thermodynamics. It offers greater explanation and support in mathematics which remains an intrinsic part of physical chemistry.
Mastering the fundamentals of physical chemistry is a challenge for many. This edition is designed to attain a thorough understanding of this vital branch of chemistry.
<em>Atkins' Physical Chemistry</em> is widely acknowledged by both students and instructors around the globe to be the textbook of choice for studying physical chemistry. The eleventh edition has been enhanced with additional learning features and math support, and reorganized into discrete Topics, to make the text more flexible for teachers and more readable for students. <strong>WebAssign</strong> New for this edition, <em>Atkins' Physical Chemistry</em> can be packaged with WebAssign, a flexible and fully customizable online instructional solution. It allows instructors to deploy assignments and to instantly assess individual student performance. For packaging information, or to arrange a demo, contact your OUP sales representative.
<em>Elements of Physical Chemistry</em> has been carefully developed to help students increase their confidence when using physics and mathematics to answer fundamental questions about the structure of molecules, how chemical reactions take place, and why materials behave the way they do. Featuring an appealing design and layout, this acclaimed text provides extensive mathematical and pedagogical support while also remaining concise and accessible. The seventh edition reorganizes the material into short Topics, which are grouped into thematic Focuses to make the text more digestible for students and more flexible for instructors. At the beginning of each Topic, three questions are posed, emphasizing why it is important, what the key idea is, and what students should already know. <strong>PEDAGOGICAL FEATURES</strong> * Detailed "justification" boxes help students understand the crucial mathematics that underpins physical chemistry * Chemist's Toolkits present the foundations of physics and mathematics exactly where they are needed in the text * Frequent worked examples, self-test questions, and end-of-chapter exercises help students gain confidence and experience in solving problems * Notes on good practice, key concept checklists, and equation labels and annotations provide additional support for students * A Companion Website provides instructors with a Test Bank of multiple-choice questions and downloadable figures and tables of data from the text. It also contains multiple-choice questions and numerical answers to end-of-chapter questions for students.
