This elegant book provides a student-friendly introduction to the
subject of physical chemistry. It is concise and more compact than
standard textbooks on the subject and it emphasises the two
important concepts underpinning physical chemistry: quantum
mechanics and the second law of thermodynamics. The principles are
challenging to students because they both focus on uncertainty and
probability. The book explains these fundamental concepts clearly
and shows how they offer the key to understanding the wide range of
chemical phenomena including atomic and molecular spectra, the
structure and properties of solids, liquids and gases, chemical
equilibrium, and the rates of chemical reactions.
