Summary
Summary
Offers concrete recommendations for modernizing the physical chemistry lecture and laboratory curriculum and provides tested modern experiments that are now in use at a variety of institutions across the country. Presents broadly organized essays on the content and presentation of topics in modern computational chemistry, state-to-state collision dynamics, atmospheric chemistry, and solid-state chemistry and its interfaces with gases and liquids. Contains sections on specific lecture materials (examples and demonstrations), specific problems which may be solved outside the classroom, and general laboratory experiments appropriate for undergraduates without access to research-level laboratories.
