'Without being an explicitly philosophical treatise Chas McCaw's
book delves into some of the deepest and most difficult aspects of
atomic physics and chemistry and its underlying quantum mechanical
account ... One of the many strengths of the book under review is
that it takes a rigorous and unflinching look at the necessary
mathematical details. In addition, the author, who is the Head of
Science at Winchester College in the UK, provides as many as 107
exercises which are interspersed throughout the main text. The
detailed solutions are given at the end of the book, over a
sequence of about 50 pages.'Foundations of ChemistryOrbitals: With
Applications in Atomic Spectra describes atomic orbitals at a level
suitable for undergraduates in chemistry. The mathematical
treatment is brought to life by many illustrations rendered from
mathematical functions (no artists' impressions), including
three-dimensional plots of angular functions, showing orbital
phase, and contour plots of the wavefunctions that result from
orbital hybridisation.This revised edition includes new discussion
of the origins of the colour of gold and the 'accidental
degeneracy' of the hydrogen atom subshells, a new figure, a new
exercise and worked solution, as well as several new references. It
also contains current and accurate updates to the old
edition.Orbitals extends the key fundamental quantum properties to
many-electron atoms, linear combinations of atomic orbitals, simple
molecules, delocalised systems and atomic spectroscopy. By focusing
on simple model systems, use of analogies and avoiding group
theory, results are obtained from initial postulates without the
need for sophisticated mathematics. The book explains topics from
first principles and guides the reader carefully through the
necessary mathematics, supplemented by worked solutions to
problems.
