Description

Atkins' Physical Chemistry is widely acknowledged by both students and lecturers around the globe to be the textbook of choice for studying physical chemistry. Now in its eleventh edition, the text has been enhanced with additional learning features and math support, and re-organized into discrete Topics, to make the text more flexible to teach from and more readable for students.

New to this Edition

  • New "Chemist's toolkits" features provide students with succinct reminders of mathematical concepts and techniques
  • New checklists of key concepts at the end of each topic reinforce the main take-home messages in each section.

Features

  • Highly respected and well-established text that evolves with every edition to meet the needs of current students
  • Exceptional mathematical support--including annotated equations, equation checklists, and math background sections--enables students to master the mathematics which underlies physical chemistry
  • The development of problem solving and analytical skills is actively encouraged by frequent worked examples, discussion questions, exercises, and problems
  • A range of other learning features, including notes on good practice, brief illustrations, and key concept checklists, are incorporated throughout to aid students in their study of physical chemistry
