An Introduction To Spectroscopy Atomic Structure And Chemical Bonding

An Introduction to Spectroscopy presents the most fundamental concepts of inorganic chemistry at a level appropriate for first year students and in a manner comprehensible to them. This is true even of 'difficult' topics such as the wave mechanical atom, symmetry elements and symmetry operations, and the ligand group orbital approach to bonding, The book contains many useful diagrams illustrating (among other things) the angular dependence of atomic wave functions the derivation of energy level diagrams for polyatomic molecules; close packed lattices and ionic crystal structures. The diagrams of the periodic variation of atomic and molecular properties, showing trends across periods and down groups simultaneously, are especially instructive. Spectroscopy is presented mainly as a tool for the elucidation of atomic and molecular structures. Each chapter begins with a clear and concise statement of "What Every First-year Student Should Know About . . ." outlining the background knowledge that the student is assumed to have from previous courses and thus pointing out what topics might need to be reviewed. There are also detailed statements of the objectives of each chapter, a number of worked examples interspersed in the text, and a comprehensive set of problems and exercises to test the student's understanding. Tables of data throughout the text and appendices at the end provide much valuable information.

This profusely illustrated book, by a world-renowned chemist and award-winning chemistry teacher, provides science students with an introduction to atomic and molecular structure and bonding. (This is a reprint of a book first published by Benjamin/Cummings, 1973.)

The Book Has 15 Chapters In All. The First Two Chapters Are Related To Atomic Structure And Atomic Spectra. The Next Chapter Is Devoted To Nature Of Chemical Bonds As Looked Upon Through Quantum Mechanics, Followed By All Types Of Spectroscopy. Every Aspect Is Explained With Some Typical Spectra. The Underlying Theory So Developed Will Help Students To Carry Out Spectral Analysis.Only Simple Quantum Mechanics Relevant To Simple Molecular Structure Has Been Given. Attempt Has Been Made To Relate The Characteristic Chemical Behavior Of These Molecules With Its Mo And Thus To Molecular Spectra. One Will Not Find Such Relationship In Any Book, But This Will Make Chemistry, As Such, Still More Interesting.Application Of Infrared And Ultra-Violet Spectroscopy, Nmr And Mass Spectra In Structure Determination Of Organic Molecules Are Very Elegantly Presented. In The Fourteenth Chapter, Lasers And Their Applications To Various Types Of Second, Third, And Fourth Order Scattering Spectroscopy Have Been Developed. The Book Has Minimum But Essential Mathematics With Very Easy Format In Its Text. Such An Approach Will Give A Clear Understanding Of The Subject And Provides Knowledge To Excel At Any Level University Examination, Competitive Examination, And Before Interview Boards.

This book deals with the methods of spectroscopy primarily in terms of the study of the properties of individual molecules.

This Comprehensive Text Clearly Explains Quantum Theory, Wave Mechanics, Structure Of Atoms And Molecules And Spectroscopy.The Book Is In Three Parts, Namely, Wave Mechanics; Structure Of Atoms And Molecules; And Spectroscopy And Resonance Techniques.In A Simple And Systematic Manner, The Book Explains The Quantum Mechanical Approach To Structure, Along With The Basic Principles And Application Of Spectroscopic Methods For Molecular Structure Determination.The Book Also Incorporates The Electric And Magnetic Properties Of Matter, The Symmetry, Group Theory And Its Applications.Each Chapter Includes Many Solved Examples And Problems For A Better Understanding Of The Subject.With Its Exhaustive Coverage And Systematic Approach, This Is An Invaluable Text For B.Sc. (Hons.) And M.Sc. Chemistry Students.

The latest in the 'Tutorial Chemistry Texts' series, 'Basic Atomic and Molecular Spectroscopy' contains chapters on quantization in polyelectronic atoms, molecular vibrations and electronic spectroscopy.
