E-Books →Group Theory In Chemistry Bonding And Molecular Spectroscopy

Salient Features:
* All discussions begin with familiar examples and then proceed to explain the abstract concepts of group theory.
* The authors' approach removes the fear of abstract concepts while explaining the necessary mathematical statements and proofs.
* Gives the student sufficient working knowledge for applying group theory to any structural /spectroscopic problem.
* Students can construct simple cardboard models of the Platonic solids to help them to understand the intricate symmetry operations which are essential for exposition of molecular structure and chemical bonding.
* Drawing stereographic projections of the point groups and construction of symmetry multiplication tables of large groups and character tables of direct product groups have been explained in detail.
* The minimum required key concepts of Linear Algebra (such as vector spaces and matrices) are developed in a logical and understandable manner in a separate chapter.
* Each chapter contains review questions, short questions, MCQs and practice problems.
