Summary:

This book discusses why molecules adopt particular shapes and what determines the physical and chemical properties of materials. Molecular mechanics, atomic and molecular orbitals and band theory are covered. Quantum mechanics is covered in a pictorial rather than mathematical approach. The examples included are of biological and industrial interest, and questions and answers aid learning. An interactive CD-ROM accompanies the book. This book is part of The Molecular World series which aims to provide a broad foundation in chemistry.
