Description
Book SynopsisA leading book for 80 years, Physical Chemistry 4e features exceptionally clear explanations of the concepts and methods of physical chemistry. The basic theory of chemistry is presented from the viewpoint of academic physical chemists, but the many applications of physical chemistry to practical are integrated throughout the book.
