    Good books on the molecular theory of viscosity

    I am looking for a book which describes viscosity on a molecular level. The problem is that I don't have enough experience to make a wise selection. If anyone has some good pointers please share.

    Molecular material ground state

    Why the ground state HOMO level of a molecule with two opposite-spin electrons, is singlet while we know that a level with two opposite-spin electrons may be singlet(s=0,m=0) or triplet(s=1,m=0)?

    Molecular Modeling: Does a proline chain fold or tangle up?

    It's probably a stupid question but is it possible to attach a long proline chain - 8 or more residues - at the C terminal of a protein and have it connect to another protein and not affect folding? It's for a project and it's not actually necessary but I have to make a protein that binds to an...

    Chemistry Molecular orbital theory: assigning electrons

    Hello, Is it true that according to molecular orbital theory valence electrons in molecules are not assigned to individual atoms? Does this mean that even lone pairs are not assigned to inidividual atoms in a molecule , but rather assigned to a specified area across the molecule? Thanks!

    Can there be molecular structures according to QM?

    In molecular orbital theory, only the electrons are considered and from that we draw conclusions about molecular shape and such. I was thinking just now, what about the nuclei? If we apply QM to the nuclei as well, wouldn't that mean that we can't know where the atoms are? or is the...
