Abstract

Abstract Chapter 2 introduces the Planck quantum theory and the Schrödinger equation. Radial and angular functions are derived and atomic orbitals discussed. Molecular structure is discussed in terms of the valence-bond and molecular-orbital theories. Symmetry adapted linear combinations (SALCs) and Hückel molecular orbital (HMO) theory are introduced and applied to molecular structures. Apparently abnormal valence and three-centre bonds are treated by molecular orbital theory. The structural and physical properties of solids are presented. Specific sections deal with black-body radiation, heat capacity, wave–particle duality, atomic spectra and Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle.
