Description

Chemical Modeling: From Atoms to Liquids examines materials in terms of the basic properties of atoms, molecules and polymer chains.

In particular, the interactions between these fundamental building blocks and the intermolecular and intramolecular potentials are examined.

Fundamental theories of the constituent particles are covered, introducing and developing classical mechanics and quantum mechanics from basics.

These theories are then applied to modeling, developing models from both classical mechanics and quantum mechanics.

The book aims to make this subject both appealing and relevant, whilst avoiding excessive mathematical rigour. Carefully structured, the text starts by introducing classical, quantum and statistical mechanics, before moving on to cover the modeling of solids, gases and liquids.

To bring the subject alive, many real life examples and applications have been included.

This book brings together the often scattered and diffuse background information that is essential for a full understanding of chemical modeling.
