About the Book :- This long awaited and thoroughly updated version of the classic text (Plenum Press, 1970) explains the subject of electrochemistry of solutions at the molecular level in clear, straightforward language. The Second Edition takes full advantage of the advances in microscopy, computing power, and industrial applications since the publication of the First Edition. In particular, Chapter 6 describing the electrochemical stage-the high field region near the interface-has been completely rewritten. The chapter on electrode kinetics covers many new areas, such as electrochemical theories of potential-dependent gas catalysis. The entirely new Chapter 8 explains how electrochemists deal with the fast-changing nature of the electrode surface. Quantum Mechanics as the basis for electrode kinetics is given an entirely new look-up to and including considerations of bond-breaking reactions. A completely new feature is the liberal supply of problem sets. There are exercises for practice in the use of equations; somewhat more involved problems that relate the material to “real life” situations; and yet more difficult “micro-research” problems, each of which may take around a day to solve. The First Edition of this remarkable work continues to sell copies even now, 27 years after its publication. With the Second Edition, Bockris, Reddy, and Gamboa-Aldeco accomplish the prodigious feat of improving on the First. Contents :- 6. Interfacial Properties. 7. Phenomenological Electrode Kinetics. 8. Transients. 9. Quantum Oriented Electrochemistry.

Reviews :- From reviews of the First Edition :- "A superbly written teaching book which should become indispensable to every student of electrochemistry." - Journal of the American Chemical Society "A truly extraordinary achievement ... An enormous body of electrochemical knowledge and a wealth of stunningly penetrating detail." - Journal of the Electrochemical Society "A Must" - Nature About the Book :- This long awaited and thoroughly updated version of the classic text (Plenum Press, 1970) explains the subject of electrochemistry in clear, straightforward language for undergraduates and mature scientists who want to understand solutions. Like its predecessor, the new text presents the electrochemistry of solutions at the molecular level. The Second Edition takes full advantage of the advances in microscopy, computing power, and industrial applications in the quarter century since the publication of the First Edition. Such new techniques include scanning-tunneling microscopy, which enables us to see atoms on electrodes; and new computers capable of molecular dynamics calculations that are used in arriving at experimental values. Chapter 10 starts with a detailed description of what happens when light strikes semi-conductor electrodes and splits water, thus providing in hydrogen a clean fuel. There have of course been revolutionary advances here since the First Edition was written. The book also discusses electrochemical methods that may provide the most economical path to many new syntheses - for example, the synthesis of the textile, nylon. The broad area of the breakdown of material in moist air, and its electrochemistry is taken up in the substantial Chapter 12. Another exciting topic covered is the evolution of energy conversion and storage which lie at the cutting edge of clean automobile development. Chapter 14 presents from a fresh perspective a discussion of electrochemical mechanisms in Biology, and Chapter 15 shows how new electrochemical approaches may potentially alleviate many environmental problems.

The chapter, an ion-ion interaction contains a good deal of new information. In the final chapter, an ionic liquid, the authors describe the continuing revolution in the development of low-temperature molten salts and the contributions of computing modeling. A completely new feature is the liberal supply of problem sets that give students the opportunity to reinforce the knowledge introduced in each chapter.

DESCRIPTION:- The bond valence model is an evolution of Pauling's electrostatic valence principle first enunciated in 1929. Recent improvements in crystal structure determination have allowed the model to become more quantitative. Unlike other models of inorganic chemical bonding, the bond valence model is simple, intuitive, quantitative and predictive, and requires only a pocket calculator. It can be used for analysing crystal structures and the conceptual modelling of local as well as extended structures. This is the first book to explore the theoretical basis of the model and to show how it can be applied to synthetic and solution chemistry. In analysing the chemistry of solids, the book emphasizes the separate roles of the constraints of chemistry and the constraints of 3-dimensional space. It reviews many of the applications of the model in physics, materials science, chemistry, mineralogy, soil science, surface science and molecular biology. The final chapter describes how the bond valence model relates to, and represents a simplification of, other models of inorganic chemical bonding. CONTENTS:- Preface Prologue 1. Historical introduction I. Theory 2. The ionic bond 3. The bond valence model II. Chemistry 4. Anion and cation bonding strengths 5. Liquids 6. Cation coordination number 7. Hydrogen bonds 8. Electronically distorted structures 9. Physical properties of bonds III: Solids 10. Space and space groups 11. Modelling inorganic structures 12. Lattice-induced strain IV. Applications and implications 13. Applications 14. Chemical implications of the bond valence model Appendices A. Bond valence parameters B. Space group spectra C. Solution of the network equations D.

The unusual approach of this text gives final honors and post-graduate students a clear and explanatory account of one of the “harder” areas of physical chemistry. i.e. theoretical areas of chemical kinetics. It acknowledges that students learn and understand best when the arguments are progressively explained in detail, and in a step-by-step manner. From notable teaching experience, Dr Robson Wright takes care to provide detailed verbal clarification of the concepts and of their importance; necessary in a subject where the main stumbling block is often the difficulty of understanding the physical and chemical concepts describing “How a reaction occurs”. The mathematical development is also explained in detail and the physical significance of the equations used is stressed topics which so often baffle students. Her explanations are an essential and vital feature of the text, which helps students to work through on their own. The text is scholarly, lucid and well-written, with a combination of depth of coverage and clarity Contents 1 Introduction: historical developments and modern kinetics 2 Basic transition state theory 3 Advanced transition state theory 4 Basic unimolecular theory 5 Advanced unimolecular theory 6 Potential energy surfaces 7 Simple and modified collision theory 8 State to state kinetics in energy transfer and reaction 9 Energy transfer 10 Molecular beam studies of reactive scattering.

Clear directions for making your own stereo have been provided in the book, which will enable readers to examine the plentiful stereoviews of lattices and crystal structures which are illustrated. The introductory chapter explains point-group and space-group symmetry insofar as required to understand lattices and crystal structures. Crystal structures are sub-divided according to the atomic force mainly responsible for cohesion in the solid state, The descriptions of the structures are given in crystallographic terms, including data on the space group, molecular symmetry and molecular geometry. Discussions of bonding theory for each sub-division of the structures enhance and strengthen the author’s presentation. A set of computer programs which includes point group recognition and the calculation of Madelung constants is available on the Internet from the web address www.horwood.net/publish. There is a generous supply of worked examples, and challenging problems with considerable tutorial help and guidance from this author’s long teaching experience. The book stems from the author’s successful lecture courses, tested and refined in class teaching.

The material is still presented element by element, retaining the rigour and brevity that characterized previous editions. A four part format has been chosen to allow the grouping together of related environmental topics and the introduction of theoretical concepts. Part One brings together many essential basic geological, geochemical and chemical ideas, and emphasizes the importance of oxygen to the chemistry of reactions near the Earth's surface. Its importance is evident in both biologically-mediated and inorganic reactions; systems depending upon these reaction types are discussed in Parts Two & Three. Differences and similarities between animated and inanimate systems are reviewed and the application of general chemical concepts to apparently very different reactions is illustrated. In part four there is a brief examination of the effects of human activities on elements that usually cycle naturally in small quantities. Also in this part, the perturbation of natural cycle by agricultural, industrial and social developments is highlighted in terms of the consequent problems of environment management.

This text presents a clear and up-to-date introduction to symmetry and group theory, which is needed now to cope with the current level of undergraduate achievement and understanding. The exposition is lucid and the English elegant. The book treats the subject matter thoroughly, in a logical sequence and in depth, so that students meeting molecular and crystal symmetry for the first time will derive much benefit for this experienced teacher’s proper and kindly approach. Group theory has the power to draw together molecular and crystal symmetry, and the book will be helpful also to those reading any of the sciences wherein chemistry forms a significant part. Copiously illustrated, including many stereoviews of molecules, the text stems from courses which have been tested in class teaching, honed and proven successful over many years. Hints on stereoviewing are given as a welcome addition, and reference is made in the text to programs developed by the author, such as those for exploring Euler’s Theorem, Point-Group Recognition, and Reducing a Representation. The programs aid the derivation, study and recognition of point groups and provide for other germane procedures, and are available on Internet www.horwood.net/published. Rigorous mathematics is avoided in the text, the pre-requisite being an A-level standard, and therefore some of the more advanced mathematical topics are developed in the appendices. There is a generous supply of worked examples to illustrate the principles as they are discussed, and a wealth a appropriate problems and exercises for the reader to practice and gain experience. Solution to the problems are given in extended tutorial form with detailed explanations so providing considerable extra guidance, enabling the reader to test comprehension, or serving for self study or pre-exam revision. Contents • Symmetry everywhere • Symmetry operations and symmetry elements • Group theory and point groups • Representations and character tables • Group theory and wave functions • Group theory and chemical bonding • Group theory, molecular vibrations and electron transitions • Group theory and crystal symmetry
