This book was written after one of us published two editions of a
smaller book (Atomic Structure and Valency by R. D. Brown, 1961 and
1966) and from the experiences of all three of us teaching a
first-year university course in valency at Monash University. Our
object has been to give enough of an historical introduction to
quantum mechanics to enable a student to grasp the fundamental
ideas without being subjected to much mathematical formalism. We
have also tried to avoid making erroneous statements in the
interest of simplicity (e. g" the widespread tendency to ignore the
difference between 2Pl, 2po, 2p-l and 2px, 2py, 2p z) because these
lead to irritation and confusion of the better students, when they
proceed to further studies of chemical quantum mechanics. The
topics we have chosen to expand upon-i. e., energy levels of
electrons in atoms, energetic considerations of bonding in diatomic
molecules, and packing of ions in the simplest solid state
structures we believe form a good basis for students to progress to
more complicated systems in a qualitative way. Both space and the
intended level ofthe book have necessitated that the experimental
section on spectroscopic and diffrac tion methods be very
introductory. Again we believe that it is essential for a student
to have some acquaintance with this, if the whole subject is to
have a firm basis."
