TOWARD the end of the nineteenth century, many physicists felt that all the principles of physics had been discovered and little remained but to clear up a few minor problems and to improve experimental methods in order to "investigate the next decimal place." Quantum Chemistry 2e offers students a superb introduction to quantum mechanics and its application to chemistry Donald A. Mcquarrie. Includes Bibliographical References And Index. Undergraduate level text including problems and answers.
