Now in its twelfth edition, the text has been enhanced with additional learning features, and the writing style has been refreshed to resonate with the modern student.

Atkins' Physical Chemistry Summary

Atkins' Physical Chemistry by Peter Atkins (Fellow, Fellow, University of Oxford)

The exceptional quality of previous editions has been built upon to make the twelfth edition of Atkins' Physical Chemistry even more closely suited to the needs of both lecturers and students. The writing style has been refreshed in collaboration with current students of physical chemistry in order to retain the clarity for which the book is recognised while mirroring the way you read and engage with information. The new edition is now available as an enhanced e-book, which offers you a richer, more dynamic learning experience. It does this by incorporating digital enhancements that are carefully curated and thoughtfully inserted at meaningful points to enhance the learning experience. In addition, it offers formative auto-graded assessment materials to provide you with regular opportunities to test their understanding. Digital enhancements introduced for the new edition include dynamic graphs, which you can interact with to explore how the manipulation of variables affects the results of the graphs; self-check questions at the end of every Topic; video content from physical chemists; and video tutorials to accompany each Focus, which dig deeper into the key equations introduced. There is also a new foundational prologue entitled 'Energy: A First Look', which summarizes key concepts that are best kept in mind right from the beginning of your physical chemistry studies. The coupling of the broad coverage of the subject with a structure and use of pedagogy that is even more innovative will ensure Atkins' Physical Chemistry remains the textbook of choice for studying physical chemistry.

Atkins' Physical Chemistry Reviews

An excellent textbook: very easy to read and fosters great understanding. Physical chemistry can be a very mathematical and complex area, but this textbook makes it easy to understand and is something I see myself using to help me carry out both lab work and physical chemistry questions. * Sophie Shearlaw, student, University of Strathclyde *
This book continuously improves and makes the learning process enjoyable. There are countless examples and exercises which can provide enormous support to both learners and lecturers. * Milan Antonijevic, lecturer, University of Greenwich *
The explanation of the concepts is great. The examples are really helpful: the authors really address almost every way in which the equations could be used. Truly a helpful textbook. * Eva Pogacar, student, Heriot-Watt University *
Covers all the topics that you would want in an undergraduate course on physical chemistry. It includes succinct overviews of mathematical concepts that students need to understand, and is extremely well-organised, breaking material into manageable sections. * Kristin Dawn Krantzman, lecturer, College of Charleston *
This textbook has always been, and continues to be, an excellent physical chemistry textbook. I highly recommend. * Mikko Linnolahti, lecturer, University of Eastern Finland *
Extremely useful Physical Chemistry textbook. Contains helpful overviews of useful equations and concepts. Schematics break down concepts and are good to support learning. Detailed content throughout. * Gabrielle Rennie, student, University of Strathclyde *
