I wanted to know what is the best physical chemistry textbook out there?

AI Thread Summary
For those seeking recommendations for a physical chemistry textbook, P.W. Atkins' "Physical Chemistry" is highlighted as a popular choice. The condensed version, "Elements of Physical Chemistry," is noted for being more accessible and easier to understand while still covering the necessary material in detail.

any recommendations to a physical chemistry book? I want to know which one is the easiest to understand, and covers all the material in detail.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
That's a subjective question so i can't say. But P.W. Atkins "Physical chemistry" is probably the most popular. (also available in the condensed version "Elements of physical chemistry")
 
Thanks
 
I agree with alxm. The elements version is more accessible i think

Thread 'Ashcroft and Mermin: revised edition'

Hi, I have notice that Ashcroft, Mermin and Wei worked at a revised edition of the original solid state physics book (here). The book, however, seems to be never available. I have also read that the reason is related to some disputes related to copyright. Do you have any further information about it? Did you have the opportunity to get your hands on this revised edition? I am really curious about it, also considering that I am planning to buy the book in the near future... Thanks!
