Books on physical chemistry by Atkins

In summary, there are several books on physical chemistry by Peter Atkins and Julio De Paula, including "Elements of Physical Chemistry" and "Physical Chemistry." For learning concepts in depth and for intense competitions, "Chemical Principles - A Quest for Insight" by Peter Atkins and Loretta Jones would be the most suitable option. This book should provide enough depth for preparation for an Olympiad level exam.
