PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY eBOOK Solids, Liquids and Transport module
By LAIDLER, MEISER AND SANCTUARY
Chapter 1 comes with all the modules. The Solids, Liquids, Transport Module covers chapters 16 to 19. You can see the detailed Table of Contents by clicking the "Contents" tab just above this text. Only available in dowload format, these chapters cover the basic ideas of crystalline solids; theories of liquids with detailed discussions about models, and special emphasis on water; and Transport phenomena in particular viscosity, diffusion and sedimentation.
There are extensive and detailed multimedia interactions in the Solids chapter. It is possible to create different 2D lattices and look at different unit cells; understand the reciporcal lattice; identify Miller Indices; watch solids pack and even watch the Meissner effect of superconductivity. The solids chapter treats both evidence and techniques used to study solids, and their theories. Quantum statistics are treated as well and the Einstein and Deby Models.
Download the
Solids and Transport Properties Solutions Manual for free. It contains the solutions to all the problems as worked out by students themselves. This peer learning model is a valuable asset for students. Check for up-dates.

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 at the bottom of all product pages). 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.
