Physical Chemistry (eEdition)

This popular Physical Chemistry text book is now available in electronic format. We have preserved much of the material of the former hard copy editions, making changes to improve understanding of the concepts in addition to including some of the recent discoveries in physical chemistry. Many chapters have new sections and the coverage of several chapters has been greatly expanded. The chapter on statistical mechanics, 15, has been completely rewritten.

The eBook has also been divided into smaller modules that are appropriate for specific courses in Physical Chemistry. These modules are available at even greater savings.

This eBook is developed by top professionals in multimedia education and technology. It has been designed with both students and teachers in mind. By combining resources (pdf, Flash, Authorware) that are supported on most operating systems (PC only: Mac OSX coming soon), the result is the first truly electronic textbook with many enhancements and appealing features:

User-friendly interface allows for easy navigation Fully linked Tables of Contents, topic and word searches. All the appendix data, perodic table and other chemical resources readily available on every page of the eBook. Fully integrated into The Web. Beautiful and clear figures. Engaging multimedia pop-ups. Much cheaper than hard copy textbooks, and the options of buying smaller modules at even greater savings.

Target audience

Covers all the traditional and modern topics in Physical Chemistry in undergraduate physical science programs.

We encourage sales to Universities, Institutions and Home Groups by providing Volume Discounts (found above in step 2). These provide even greater savings over our already low prices, compared to hard copy textbooks. 

Users: teachers

With the programs loaded on the teachers laptop, the material can be projected in class. In addition throughout the text are scattered about 100 multimedia interactions that pop-up. In class, using the Multimedia Table of Contents , these interactions can be used as demonstrations.

Easy navigation with all sections and subsections linked to the Table of Contents..

Integrated into The Web with ready links to websites like Wikipedia, Google search, More Chemistry Help, etc.

The multimedia pop-ups give students a chance to visualize and interact with programs that demonstrate different concepts.

The text provides detailed treatment of concepts that students often find challenging. Most of these are illustrated by worked examples.

eBooks are green and today students have grown up reading and interacting with computers. Students are not only comfortable with electronic media, but for ecological reasons alone, eBook must replace hard copy.

Users: Students

This eTextbook provides many more features than are possible with hard textbooks, and does this at a much reduced price. Although all the undergraduate topics in physical chemistry are covered, you may not need to take them all. For this reason, the textbook is broken into smaller modules that cover specific topics. This provides an even greater saving.

Easy navigation, convenient hyperlinking and many features that enhance your ability to find material easily so you can concentrate on learning.

Fully integrated into The Web, with links to Wikipedia, Google, More Chemistry Help, and other useful on-line resources.

Interesting and informative multimedia components are built into the book and pop-up when clicked so you can listen to explanations of the material you are working on, and perform interactions that will help you understand the concepts.

Extensive problems are provided that are an essential part of studying for Physical Chemistry. A full solution manual is available for free. This solution manual was written by students for students. It is well known that peer learning is effective, and therefore the worked-out problems provide a valuable tool for all those interested in understanding physical chemistry at the required level.
