Description for Discovering Chemistry with Natural Bond Orbitals
Paperback. This book explores chemical bonds, their intrinsic energies, and the corresponding dissociation energies which are relevant in reactivity problems. It offers the first book on conceptual quantum chemistry, a key area for understanding chemical principles and predicting chemical properties. Num Pages: 336 pages, Illustrations (some col.), charts. BIC Classification: PNRP. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 234 x 157 x 18. Weight in Grams: 508.
This book explores chemical bonds, their intrinsic energies, and the corresponding dissociation energies which are relevant in reactivity problems. It offers the first book on conceptual quantum chemistry, a key area for understanding chemical principles and predicting chemical properties. It presents NBO mathematical algorithms embedded in a well-tested and widely used computer program (currently, NBO 5.9). While encouraging a "look under the hood" (Appendix A), this book mainly enables students to gain proficiency in using the NBO program to re-express complex wavefunctions in terms of intuitive chemical concepts and orbital imagery.

Reviews for Discovering Chemistry with Natural Bond Orbitals
“Following this text’s clear explanations, even readers with limited backgrounds in quantum mechanics will learn how to perform sophisticated explorations of modern bonding and valency concepts.” (Chimie Nouvelle, 1 March 2013)
