KORTE INHOUD

Hardcover, in-8, 468 pp., index.

"Introduction to Quantum Mechanics: With Applications to Chemistry" by Linus Pauling and E.B. Wilson is a foundational text that explores quantum mechanics, specifically its applications to the field of chemistry. First published in 1935, this book introduces the basic principles of quantum mechanics in a way that is accessible to chemistry students and professionals.
Quantum mechanics is a branch of physics that deals with phenomena on the scale of atoms and subatomic particles. Unlike classical mechanics, quantum mechanics introduces concepts such as wave-particle duality, superposition, and quantization of energy.

In chemistry, quantum mechanics helps explain the behavior of atoms and molecules, especially in areas like chemical bonding, the behavior of electrons, and the properties of molecules. The book by Pauling and Wilson provides the theoretical framework necessary to understand these concepts.

The authors emphasize using mathematical tools to explain chemical principles,...
