Thats interesting! Wish chem would go more indepth...but then again... i guess chemists (the few i know anyway) probably don't care that indepth about why it's happening... else they'd have been physicists

thanks for the recommendation, ill look for that book next time I'm at the library. do you also know a good book to recommend so i read up a bit about orgo/inorgo?

For organic, I am thoroughly convinced the best book is "Organic Chemistry" by Clayden and company.

For inorganic we used atkins and shriver, which was alright, but I felt there was little new material I hadn't seen. In that class I mostly fished for articles and such related to what I cared about spin-orbit coupling and that jazz.
