Description
Quantum Mechanics for Chemists provides a basic understanding of quantum mechanics principles for chemistry undergraduates. It assumes prior knowledge of chemical bonding and molecular orbitals in molecules like butadiene and benzene, making it suitable to follow a basic course in organic or inorganic chemistry. The book's approach differs from typical quantum chemistry texts by introducing the Schrödinger wave equation later, after students have familiarized themselves with de Broglie-type wavefunctions. This gradual introduction helps students grasp fundamental concepts of quantum mechanics. The text concludes with discussions on approximate solutions to the wave equation for many-electron atoms and molecules. Ideal for undergraduate chemistry students, this book is part of a series that offers concise accounts of basic principles underlying key subjects in chemistry. It embodies an independent-learning philosophy, featuring worked examples to support student understanding.
