| Summary |
"This book is about chemical bonds, their intrinsic energies and the corresponding dissociation energies which are relevant in reactivity problems; it is the first book to detail relatively uncomplicated but physically meaningful approaches to molecular properties, an area important to help understand chemical principles and predict chemical properties. The primary goal of this book is to enable students to gain proficiency in using the NBO program to re-express complex many-electron wavefunctions in terms of intuitive chemical concepts and orbital imagery, with minimal distractions from underlying mathematical or programming details"-- Provided by publisher. |
