xviii, 989 p. : ill. ; 27 cm. Physical Chemistry by Ira N. Levine is a comprehensive undergraduate-level textbook that explains the fundamental principles governing chemical systems through the application of physics and mathematics. The book covers the major areas of physical chemistry, including thermodynamics, quantum mechanics, statistical mechanics, spectroscopy, chemical kinetics, and molecular structure. The text emphasizes both theoretical foundations and practical applications, helping students understand how microscopic molecular behavior relates to macroscopic chemical properties. Levine presents complex concepts with clear derivations, worked examples, and problem-solving techniques, making the material accessible while maintaining scientific rigor. Key topics include: The laws of thermodynamics and their application to chemical equilibrium. Quantum mechanical descriptions of atoms and molecules. Statistical methods linking molecular properties to bulk behavior. Spectroscopic techniques used to investigate molecular structure. Chemical reaction rates and mechanisms. Electrochemistry and surface phenomena. Overall, the book serves as a foundational resource for chemistry, physics, and related science students, providing the theoretical framework necessary for understanding modern chemical processes and research by Ira N. Levine. Includes index.
