Ideas of Quantum Chemistry, Volume 1: From Quantum Physics to Chemistry shows how quantum mechanics is applied to molecular sciences to give them a theoretical foundation, highlighting the primary quantum underpinnings of chemical systems. Organized into digestible sections and written in an accessible style, it answers frequently asked questions, highlighting the most important conclusions and essential mathematical formulae throughout. Beginning with an introduction to the magic of quantum mechanics, the book goes on to review such key topics as the Schrödinger Equation, exact solutions, and fundamental approximate methods. The crucial concept of molecular shape is then discussed, followed by the motion of nuclei and the orbital model of electronic structure. The 1st volume in this 2 volume expansion, Ideas of Quantum Chemistry: From Quantum Physics to Chemistry has been updated and revised to cover the latest developments in the field, and can be used either on its own as a detailed introduction to quantum chemistry, or in combination with volume 2 to give a complete overview of the field. It is an authoritative introduction for beginners, a useful tool for specialists in advanced areas of quantum chemistry, and a practical overview for all those working in related circles, from computational chemists and material scientists to biotechnologists and drug designers. Provides fully updated coverage of an extensive range of both foundational and complex topicsUses an innovative structure to emphasize relationships between topics and help readers tailor their path through the book to support their specific needsIncludes new sections on Time-Energy Uncertainty and Virial Theorem INDICE: 1.
