Written for general chemistry courses, Chemical Principles 4e helps students develop chemical insight by showing the connections between fundamental chemical ideas and their applications. It begins with a detailed picture of the atom then builds towards chemistry's frontier, continually demonstrating how to solve problems, think about nature and matter, and visualize chemical concepts in the same way as working chemists.

This modern textbook makes explicit the many connections between physical organic chemistry and critical fields such as organometallic chemistry, materials chemistry, bioorganic chemistry, and biochemistry. In the latter part of the twentieth century, the field of physical organic chemistry went through dramatic changes, with an increased emphasis on noncovalent interactions and their roles in molecular recognition, supramolecular chemistry, and biology; the development of new materials with novel structural features; and the use of computational methods. Contemporary chemists must be just as familiar with these newer fields as with the more established classical topics.
Modern Physical Organic Chemistry is intended to bridge that gap. In addition to covering thoroughly the core areas of physical organic chemistry - structure and mechanism - the book will escort the practitioner of organic chemistry into a field that has been thoroughly updated. The foundations and applicabilities of modern computational methods are also developed.

The biggest change in the years since the first edition is the proliferation of computational chemistry programs that calculate molecular properties. McQuarrie presents step-by-step SCF calculations of a helium atom and a hydrogen molecule, in addition to including the Hartree-Fock method and post-Hartree-Fock methods.

This book is ideal for use in a one-semester introductory course in
physical chemistry for students of life sciences. The author's aim is
to emphasize the understanding of physical concepts rather than focus
on precise mathematical development or on actual experimental details.
Subsequently, only basic skills of differential and integral calculus
are required for understanding the equations. The end-of-chapter
problems have both physiochemical and biological applications.
