Chemical bonds : a dialog

Understanding the nature of the chemical bond is the key to understanding all chemistry, be it inorganic, physical, organic or biochemistry. This book takes the form of a question and answer tutorial and explores the fundamental concepts of chemical bonding. These range from the nature of the chemical bond, via the regular hexagonal structure of benzene and the nature of the metallic bond. The book offers an approach to quantum chemistry and is based on on the lectures of Professor Jeremy Burdett.Inorganic Chemistry This series reflects the breadth of modern research in inorganic chemistry and fulfils the need for advanced texts. The series covers the whole range of inorganic and physical chemistry, solid state chemistry, coordination chemistry, main group chemistry and bioinorganic chemistry. Chemical Bonds A Dialog Jeremy K. Burdett The University of Chicago, USA Understanding the nature of the chemical bond is the key to understanding all chemistry, be it inorganic, physical, organic or biochemistry. In the form of a question and answer tutorial the fundamental concepts of chemical bonding are explored. These range from the nature of the chemical bond, via the regular hexagonal structure of benzene and the meaning of the term 'metallic bond', to d-orbital involvement in hypervalent compounds and the structure of N_2O. Chemical Bonds: A Dialog provides a novel format in terms of a dialog between two scientists insights into many key questions concerning chemical bonds an orbital approach to quantum chemistry.

Chemical bonds : an introduction to atomic and molecular structure

Designed for science students, this book provides an introduction to atomic and molecular structure and bonding. Following two initial chapters on atomic structure and the electronic properties of atoms and molecules, the book is largely organized according to molecule size, moving from an examination of diatomic molecules in Chapter Three to the "infinitely large" atomic clusters in Chapter Six. To facilitate teaching and self-study, each chapter ends with a large selection of questions and problems. The author has collected numerous awards and honours, including awards for excellence in the teaching of chemistry.
