| Here is the extensively revised and updated third edition of the textbook
thatwhen first published-revolutionized the teaching of chemistry by presenting
it as a subject to be understood in terms of unifying principles instead
of as a body of unrelated facts. General Chemistry provides a sound and
logical development of the theories of greatest importance in modern chemistry-atomic
and molecular structure, quantum mechanics, statistical mechanics, and thermodynamicsalong
with enough descriptive chemistry to introduce the Student to the multitude
of chemical substances and their properties. In this edition, the amount of descriptive chemistry has been decreased somewhat, and the presentation of the subject, especially in relation to the nonmetals, has been revised in such a way as to permit greater correlation with the electronic structure of atoms, especially electronegativity. Extensive use is made of the International System of units because of the inherent advantages of the system and because of the acceptance of it by most countries in the world. Many of the illustrations in the third edition are new. LINUS PAULING was born in Portland, Oregon, an February 28, 1901. He attended Oregon State College and the California Institute of Technology, where he received a Ph.D. in 1925. After a year of study in Europe, he returned to join the faculty of the California Institute of Technology. In 1964 he assumed the position of Research Professor of the Physical and Biological Sciences in the Center for the Study of Democratic Institutions, Santa Barbara, California. He became Professor of Chemistry in Stanford University in 1969. Professor Pauling's interests have centered an the nature of the chemical bond and the structure of crystals and molecules, but he has made substantial contributions to many other areas in chemistry. Among these contributions are his application of quantum mechanics to chemistry, his study of the effective sizes of atoms in molecules and crystals, his work in establishing the existence of helical structures in proteins, his development of a theory of metallic bonding, and his study of molecular abnormality in relation to disease. The value of his contributions is attested by seventeen medals and awards, including the 1954 Nobel Prize in Chemistry; thirty honorary degrees; and honorary membership in twenty scientific societies in twelve countries. He was also awarded the 1962 Nobel Peace Prize, in recognition of his fight for an international agreement to stop the testing of nuclear weapons. He has published more than 400 papers, most of which present the results of original investigations, and several books that are among the best in their fields. These include Introduction to Quantum Mechanics (with E. B. Wilson, Jr.), The Nature of the Chemical Bond. and College Chemistry, as well as this new edition of General Chemistry. |
