Anh N.T. Frontier Orbitals. A Practical Manual

Oxford. 2002. 193 p. This Very Short Introduction is an exciting and non-traditional approach to understanding the terminology, properties, and classification of chemical elements. It traces the history and cultural impact of the elements on humankind, and examines why people have long sought to identify the substances around them. The book includes chapters on particular elements such as gold, iron, and oxygen, showing how they shaped culture a...

7th ed. Brooks/Cole Cengage Learning. 2007. 655 p. The 48 experiments in this well-conceived manual illustrate important concepts and principles in general, organic, and biochemistry. As in previous editions, three basic goals guided the development of all the experiments: (1) the experiments illustrate the concepts learned in the classroom; (2) the experiments are clearly and concisely written so that readers will easily understand the task at...

World Scientific. 2005. 335 p. Chalcogen-nitrogen chemistry involves the study of compounds that exhibit a linkage between nitrogen and sulfur, selenium or tellurium atoms. Such studies have both fundamental and practical importance. A Guide to Chalcogen-Nitrogen Chemistry examines the role of chalcogen-nitrogen compounds in areas ranging from solid-state inorganic chemistry to biochemistry. The discussion covers fundamental questions concerning...

Cambridge University Press. 2003. - 238 p. Valence bond theory is one of two commonly used methods in molecular quantum mechanics, the other is molecular orbital theory. This book focuses on the first of these methods, ab initio valence bond theory. The book is split into two parts. Part I gives simple examples of two-electron calculations and the necessary theory to extend these to larger systems. Part II gives a series of case studies of relat...

Kluwer Academic Publishers. 2004. 450 p. This book provides a comprehensive description of 1) products that are made from or that contain nitrogen, 2) the processes that produce these products and 3) the markets that consume these products. The goal has been to present an abundance of information in one book so that the reader will find the maximum amount of useful information in one place. The first four chapters provide basic information about...

4th ed. Springer. 2010. 4521 p. The Chemistry of the Actinide and Transactinide Elements is the contemporary and definitive exposition of chemical properties of all of the actinide elements, especially of the technologically important elements uranium and plutonium, as well as the transactinide elements. In addition to the comprehensive treatment of the chemical properties of each element, ions and compounds from atomic number 89 (actinium) thro...
