Abstract:

With its modern emphasis on the molecular view of physical chemistry, its wealth of contemporary applications (in the new Impact on features), vivid full-colour presentation, and dynamic new media tools, the thoroughly revised new edition is again the most modern, most effective full-length textbook available for the physical chemistry classroom.

Summary

The exceptional quality of previous editions has been built upon to make the tenth edition of Atkins' Physical Chemistry even more closely suited to the needs of both lecturers and students. Material within chapters has been radically reorganised into discrete topics, to give the text an inviting modular feel. This restructuring increases the digestibility of the text for students, while making it more flexible for lecturers to teach from.The extensive learning support provided throughout the book now includes new checklists of key concepts at the end of each topic, to reinforce the main take-home messages in each section. The mathematics support for students has also been significantly expanded, with the addition of new Chemist's toolkit boxes, which provide useful reminders of essential mathematical concepts and techniques.The coupling of the broad coverage of the subject with a structure and use of pedagogy that is even more innovative will ensure Atkins' Physical Chemistry remains the textbook of choice for studying physical chemistry.New to this edition Significant re-organisation of the material within each chapter into discrete 'topics' makes the text more readable for students and more flexible for instructors to teach from Three questions at the beginning of each topic engage and focus the attention of the reader: 'Why do you need to know this material?', 'What is the key idea?', and 'What do you need to know already?' Expanded maths support includes new 'Chemist's toolkits' which provide students with succinct reminders of mathematical concepts and techniques New checklist of key concepts at the end of each topic reinforces the main take-home messages for each section
