AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around the search for a chemistry book that parallels Richard Feynman's influential physics texts. Participants highlight Linus Pauling's works, noting that his texts on quantum chemistry and the nature of the chemical bond are well-regarded for their clarity and insight. Additionally, Pauling's general chemistry book is mentioned as part of his contributions to the field. The conversation reflects a desire for accessible yet profound chemistry literature similar to Feynman's approach in physics.

"Feynman" of Chemistry?

Does anyone know if a chemistry book exists akin to Feynman's fundamental physics books?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Althoug did not read much in them , but as far as I read, Linus Pauling texts are well-written (I have the both the quantum chemistry and the chemical bond but he also has a third one on general chemistry).
