Symmetry Through the Eyes of a Chemist

Viac o knihe

Focusing on the concept of symmetry, this third edition offers a comprehensive survey of chemistry, enriched with examples from various fields to highlight symmetry's unifying nature. It aims to provide both aesthetic pleasure and educational value. The structure remains consistent, starting with simple symmetries and advancing to molecular geometry, group theory, molecular vibrations, electronic structures, and chemical reactions. The final chapters introduce space-group symmetries and crystal structures, featuring revised content and updated illustrations for enhanced clarity.
