Principles of physical chemistry

Abstract

In the book most portions deal with the kinetic theory, thermodynamics and chemical kinetics. used some final results and equations of Quantum Chemistry and did not go anywhere beyond it because Quantum Chemistry and Statistical Mechanics should be treated at a higher level. Although the approach his been basically classical attempts have been made to acquaint the students with thermodynamic approach. In many places both kinetic and thermodynamic treatment have been used to show that identical results can be obtained. Only the methodology and physical concept are different. Quantum mechanical approach has been kept to minimum, only flashes appear here and there.
