Description and Table of Contents

Description

The goal of this new book is to provide lecturers with material that they can use to modernize their lectures and laboratory courses. The first four chapters present broadly organized essays on the content and presentation of various topics (e.g., computational chemistry, state to state dynamics, atmospheric chemistry, and surface science) and give descriptions of tested modem experiments that are now in use at a variety of institutions across the USA. Also covered are laser experiments, experiments with fluorescence probes, polymer experiments, experiments on thermodynamics, as well as new approaches for classical topics such as Huckel molecular orbitals, measurement of the photoelectric field, and NMR relaxation times.
