Description for Atoms in Molecules
Paperback. The purpose of this monograph is to show that a theory can be developed to underpin the molecular structure hypothesis - that the atoms in a molecule are real, with properties predicted and defined by the laws of quantum mechanics. Series: International Series of Monographs on Chemistry. Num Pages: 456 pages, 1 colour plate, halftones, line figures, tables. BIC Classification: PHQ; PNRP. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 234 x 157 x 27. Weight in Grams: 726.
The molecular structure hypothesis - that a molecule is a collection of atoms linked by a network of bonds - was forged in the crucible of nineteenth century experimental chemistry and has continued to serve as the principal means of ordering and classifying the observations of chemistry. There is a difficulty with the hypothesis, however, in that it is not related directly to the physics which governs the motions of the nuclei and electrons that make up the atoms and the bonds.^ It is the purpose of this important book - now available in paperback for the first time - ...
