Molecular Modelling and Bonding
Molecular Modelling and Bonding by Elaine A. Moore, published by the Royal Society of Chemistry in 2002, offers a comprehensive introduction to the principles of molecular and quantum mechanics. This 152-page book employs a largely non-mathematical approach to explore why molecules adopt specific shapes and how these shapes influence the physical and chemical properties of materials. The text covers topics such as atomic and molecular orbitals, computational chemistry, and bonding in solids, making it accessible for readers interested in the foundational aspects of chemistry.
Readers will find a detailed exploration of molecular modeling, particularly in the context of drug design, where computer modeling is integrated with experimental techniques. The book includes a CD-ROM that illustrates applications of molecular and quantum mechanics, featuring structures and orbitals discussed in the text, along with programs to visualize these concepts in 3D. This edition is part of the Molecular World series, which aims to provide an integrated introduction to various branches of chemistry, catering to both students and educators in higher education.
Official synopsis Publisher
Why do molecules adopt particular shapes? What determines the physical and chemical properties of a material? Molecular Modelling and Bonding answers these questions by introducing the ideas behind molecular and quantum mechanics, using a largely non-mathematical approach. Atomic and molecular orbitals, computational chemistry and bonding in solids are also discussed. A Case Study, Molecular Modelling in Drug Design, explores ways in which computer modelling, in conjunction with experimental techniques, is used to design new drugs. The accompanying CD-ROM illustrates applications of molecular and quantum mechanics, and includes many of the structures and orbitals illustrated in the text. It provides the programs necessary to view orbitals and 3D structures. The Molecular World series provides an integrated introduction to all branches of chemistry for both students wishing to specialise and those wishing to gain a broad understanding of chemistry and its relevance to the everyday world and to other areas of science. The books, with their Case Studies and accompanying multi-media interactive CD-ROMs, will also provide valuable resource material for teachers and lecturers. (The CD-ROMs are designed for use on a PC running Windows 95, 98, ME or 2000.)
