Quantum Mechanics for Chemists is designed to provide chemistry
undergraduates with a basic understanding of the principles of
quantum mechanics. The text assumes some knowledge of chemical
bonding and a familiarity with the qualitative aspects of molecular
orbitals in molecules such as butadiene and benzene. Thus it is
intended to follow a basic course in organic and/or inorganic
chemistry. The approach is rather different from that adopted in
most books on quantum chemistry in that the Schr/dinger wave
equation is introduced at a fairly late stage, after students have
become familiar with the application of de Broglie-type
wavefunctions to free particles and particles in a box. Likewise,
the Hamiltonian operator and the concept of eigenfunctions and
eigenvalues are not introduced until the last two chapters of the
book, where approximate solutions to the wave equation for
many-electron atoms and molecules are discussed. In this way,
students receive a gradual introduction to the basic concepts of
quantum mechanics. Ideal for the needs of undergraduate chemistry
students, Tutorial Chemistry Texts is a major series consisting of
short, single topic or modular texts concentrating on the
fundamental areas of chemistry taught in undergraduate science
courses. Each book provides a concise account of the basic
principles underlying a given subject, embodying an
independent-learning philosophy and including worked examples."
