Summary

A basic understanding of the quantum theory is essential in many areas of chemistry, especially in connection with spectroscopy and with theories of atomic and molecular structure. This introduction to the theory, and its application to elementary atomic structure, puts the essential ideas in their historical context. With the crucial and difficult concepts of wave-particle duality, modern illustrations are used to show that they have current applications in chemistry. Recognising that many chemistry students do not have a strong background in physics, most chapters start with some essential physics, concerning waves, mechanics, and electrostatics. The maths is kept to a minimum, consistent with a proper understanding of what is necessary. Each chapter ends with some simple problems.
