A momcnt'' s thought wi ll show that this condition is never true: removing an elecrron ro make rhe ion will change rhe elecrron~lecrron repulsion experienced by all rhe remaining e1eζrrons， so rheir orbital energies mttst change. I checked out the latest edition as a refresher, and to my surprise Keeler and Wothers have actually managed to make a difficult topic even more accessible.

Offering a fresh approach to undergraduate teaching, it depicts the subject as a seamless discipline, showing how inorganic, organic and physical concepts can be blended together to achieve the common goal of understanding chemical systems.

With a lively and engaging writing style augmented throughout by purpose-drawn illustrations, and custom-developed online support, Chemical Structure and Reactivity makes taking an integrated approach in the teaching of chemistry a realistic proposition for the first time. The authors anticipate this will be better managed by students once they have completed the early maths modules that are now common components of chemistry degrees in the UK. For lecturers:· Fully worked solutions to the exercises available through the Online Resource Centre. With a lively and engaging writing style augmented throughout by purpose-drawn illustrations, and custom-developed online support, Chemical Structure and Reactivity alone makes taking an integrated approach in the teaching of chemistry a realistic proposition. Occasionally the flow of ideas is compromised by introducing exceptions or anomalies when the knowledge required to understand them has yet to be covered.

Proposed Assessment Honours Pathway Option: The standard course will count 90% towards the final grade and the HPO 10%. The first and second ionization energies of the first ten elements of the periodic table were computed using the Hartree-Fock approximation code for small atomic systems developed by Koonin, S.

This should be a fixture on the bookshelves of undergraduate chemistry everywhere (yes, scientists can also have books!

Students will gain a detailed understanding of the different definitions and behaviour of acids and bases, including an ability to rationalise and predict the behaviour of new compounds. The objective of the authors, to break down the barriers used to manage the teaching of chemistry, is laudable, and they achieve their aim, particularly in the first section of the book. Rather an expensive text book but if you intend to study chemistry at University level then it is well worth it.

Biography: James Keeler is Senior Tutor in the Department of Chemistry and Selwyn College at the University of Cambridge. Students will learn key practical techniques used in the laboratory, including skills for carrying out synthetic manipulations, product purification and simple analysis skills. This books predecessor is quite possibly the primary reason for my not failing undergraduate chemistry courses.
