The exceptional quality of previous editions has been built upon to make the twelfth edition of Atkins' Physical Chemistry even more closely suited to the needs of both lecturers and students. The writing style has been refreshed in collaboration with current students of physical chemistry in order to retain the clarity for which the book is recognised while mirroring the way you read and engage with information.The new edition is now available as an enhanced e-book, which offers you a richer, more dynamic learning experience. It does this by incorporating digital enhancements that are carefully curated and thoughtfully inserted at meaningful points to enhance the learning experience. In addition, it offers formative auto-graded assessment materials to provide you with regular opportunities to test their understanding.Digital enhancements introduced for the new edition include dynamic graphs, which you can interact with to explore how the manipulation of variables affects the results of the graphs; self-check questions at the end of every Topic; video content from physical chemists; and video tutorials to accompany each Focus, which dig deeper into the key equations introduced. There is also a new foundational prologue entitled 'Energy: A First Look', which summarizes key concepts that are best kept in mind right from the beginning of your physical chemistry studies.The coupling of the broad coverage of the subject with a structure and use of pedagogy that is even more innovative will ensure Atkins' Physical Chemistry remains the textbook of choice for studying physical chemistry.

Molecular assemblies, macromolecules, proteins, nucleic acids: they form a substantial part of all living organisms, from plants to humans. Indeed, they are critical for keeping them alive. But how do they operate? Chemical processes are at the core of life: understanding life means unveiling the physical principles on which it is built. From thermodynamics to molecular interactions, Physical Chemistry for the Life Sciences 3rd edition explains how the principles of physical chemistry apply to the processes of life. Offering worked examples and multiple case studies throughout, students are supported to master even the most complex concepts and how they apply in biological contexts, while acquiring key problem-solving and mathematical skills. Directly addressing the main challenges faced by students, its pedagogically rich approach provides an accessible and holistic guide The extended scope of this new edition includes the essential techniques that can be used to characterize biological systems, including biochemical spectroscopy, x-ray diffraction, and spectrometry.

The exceptional quality of previous editions has been built upon to make the twelfth edition of Atkins' Physical Chemistry even more closely suited to the needs of both lecturers and students. The writing style has been adapted in collaboration with current students of physical chemistry in order to retain clarity but match the way you read.The new edition is now available as an enhanced e-book, which offers a richer, more dynamic experience than either a print textbook or a flat e-book. It does this by incorporating digital enhancements that are carefully curated and thoughtfully inserted at meaningful points to enhance the learning experience.

Physical Chemistry: Quanta, Matter, and Change 2nd edition takes an exciting and innovative molecular approach to the teaching of physical chemistry. The text focuses on our understanding of the properties of matter at the molecular level, and how these can be linked to the macroscopic world via statistical mechanics and thermodynamics.For the second edition the structure of the text has been radically re-organised. Instead of being in chapters, material is broken down into 97 short 'topics' and related 'topics' are organised into 20 'focus on' sections. 'Roadmaps' at the beginning of each Focus show how topics are interrelated and help students to forge connections between different subjects. This novel approach is designed to improve the digestibility of the text for students and be more flexible for lecturers teaching the subject.The distinguished author team presents the subject in a rigorous but accessible manner, allowing students to gain a thorough understanding of physical chemistry. The text includes numerous learning features, such as self-test questions, notes on good practice, online 'impact on' sections, and example boxes. Furthermore, the mathematics support has been significantly enhanced for this edition, by the inclusion of new 'chemist's toolkits', which link to the more in depth 'Mathematical background' sections.The ground-breaking approach of the second edition of Physical Chemistry: Quanta, Matter, and Change will enable students to gain a deep understanding of this fascinating and important subject area.Online ResourcesThe online resources feature:For registered adopters of the book:· Figures and tables of data from the book, ready to download.· Instructor's Solutions Manual For students:· Web links to a range of additional physical chemistry resources on the internet.· Group theory tables, available for downloading.· Living Graphs · Molecular modelling problems · Impact sections linked to via QR codes in the text

Mit seinem lebendigen und anschaulichen Stil sowie einer immer weiter verfeinerten Didaktik hat Peter Atkins das Lernen und Lehren in der Physikalischen Chemie revolutioniert. Sein Stil ist unverwechselbar - und unerreicht.Die 5. Auflagedes "kleinen" Atkins für natur- und ingenieurwissenschaftliche Studiengänge hat ein neues, innovatives Konzept, das dabei unterstützt, sämtliche Hürden zu meistern.Der Stoff ist in 15 Fokus-Kapitel aufgeteilt. Zu Beginn jedes Fokus werden Beziehungen zwischen den Abschnitten innerhalb eines Fokus hergestellt, um die Verbindungen zwischen den verschiedenen Gebieten der Physikalischen Chemie hervorzuheben.Jeder Abschnitt beginnt mit einer Motivation, Nennung der Schlüsselideen und der Voraussetzungen, die die Leserinnen und Leser zum Verständnis des Abschnitts mitbringen sollten.Zahlreiche durchgerechnete Beispiele, Zusammenfassungen, Verständnistests und Hinweise zur richtigen Verwendung von Fachsprache helfen dabei, die erlernten Konzepte zu festigen und ermöglichen zielgerichtetes Lernen und Wiederholen.Passend zur 5. Auflage gibt es erstmals ein Arbeitsbuch mit durchgerechneten Lösungen der mehr als 800 Aufgaben.Der "kleine" Atkins ist und bleibt ein Muss für jeden Einsteiger und jede Einsteigerin in die Physikalische Chemie.
