Series: Topics in Current Chemistry. Num Pages: 333 pages, 47 black & white illustrations, 13 black & white tables, biography. BIC Classification: PNR. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 234 x 156 x 19. Weight in Grams: 647.
Molecular properties and reactions are controlled by electrons in the molecules. Electrons had been thought to be particles. Quantum mechanics showed that el- trons have properties not only as particles but also as waves. A chemical theory is required to think about the wave properties of electrons in molecules. These prop- ties are well represented by orbitals, which contain the amplitude and phase ch- acteristics of waves. This volume is a result of our attempt to establish a theory of chemistry in terms of orbitals — A Chemical Orbital Theory. The amplitude of orbitals represents a spatial extension of orbitals. ...
