This used but well-maintained textbook is a top choice for professionals and students alike, offering hundreds of worked problems and global accessibility through multiple translations. ## Description As the first modern physical chemistry textbook to cover quantum mechanics before thermodynamics and kinetics, this book provides a contemporary approach to the study of physical chemistry As the first modern physical chemistry textbook to cover quantum mechanics before thermodynamics and kinetics, this book provides a contemporary approach to the study of physical chemistry. By beginning with quantum chemistry, students will learn the fundamental principles upon which all modern physical chemistry is built. The text includes a special set of β€œMathChapters” to review and summarize the mathematical tools required to master the material Thermodynamics is simultaneously taught from a bulk and microscopic viewpoint that enables the student to understand how bulk properties of materials are related to the properties of individual constituent molecules. This new text includes a variety of modern research topics in physical chemistry as well as hundreds of worked problems and examples.Translated into French, Italian, Japanese, Spanish and Polish. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Dimensions | 7.05 x 2.24 x 10.31 inches | | Edition | 1st | | Isbn 10 | 0935702997 | | Isbn 13 | 978-0935702996 | | Item Weight | 1 pounds | | Language | English | | Print Length | 1360 pages | | Publication Date | August 20, 1997 | | Publisher | University Science Books | ## Images ![Physical Chemistry: A Molecular Approach - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91DPAVf7QnL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing *by on Reviewed in the United States June 28, 2014* I am a chemistry major (I converted from chemical engineering halfway through my B.S.) and absolutely love this textbook. I took physical chemistry 2 (thermodynamics/kinetics) last semester and it was a really tough class. Even worse we were assigned the Engel/Reid textbook, which is total garbage.This textbook helped me survive (and at times enjoy) the class.The book is VERY logically organized. For the most part the math is very clear and easy to follow. They rarely skip steps, and take care to explain what is going on when deriving key equations. I never did any of the practice problems, but they look pretty good to me.This Fall I am taking physical chemistry I (quantum mechanics, yes I took them out of order haha), and the teacher is supposedly pretty awful. And we're using Engel/Reid again.... So I suspect this textbook will get a lot more usage from me!When I become a professor, and if this book is still in publication, this is definitely the textbook I'll assign. From my personal experience with it, and from what I have heard from others, this book is the best of the best. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Worthy Contribution to the Field of P. Chem *by on Reviewed in the United States March 8, 2007* I am a sterilization microbiologist with my education in medical microbiology. I have found it necessary over the many years I've been out of university to keep abreast and refreshed in the various contributing sciences to my field. Physical Chemistry was the Holy Terror of graduate school (and with good reason). If you weren't a whiz kid in calculas, physics, and chemistry, you had many many many long nights ahead of you. McQuarrie has taken an approach in this text that mitigates much of the terror. His approach is more of a teacher and less of a demi-god trying to impress you with how little you know and how much he knows. His approach is straight-forward and he provides ample use of review of basic principles in calculus, physics, math, etc. after each chapter. This helps in that you don't need to go hunting through old texts to find what you need to understand the concepts in the next chapter. While a massive text, it is worth every penny. This book is very well suited for anyone trying to refresh their knowledge, especially if you're studying by youself. Buy the book. You won't be disappointed. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wow *by on Reviewed in the United States January 26, 2026* Wow, a classic. Lines up with Pchem videos online.
