Hello! What books should I use to study polyatomic molecules (from a physics perspective, more than chemistry)? Is there an equivalent to Brown and Carrington for polyatomic molecules? Thank you!
Polyatomic molecules are molecules that contain three or more atoms bonded together. Examples include water (H2O), carbon dioxide (CO2), and methane (CH4).
Polyatomic molecules play a crucial role in many chemical reactions and processes. Understanding their structure and properties can help us develop new materials and technologies, as well as improve our understanding of the natural world.
Some popular books for studying polyatomic molecules include "Molecular Quantum Mechanics" by Peter Atkins and Ronald Friedman, "Molecular Symmetry and Group Theory" by Alan Vincent, and "Molecular Quantum Mechanics" by Ronald S. McWeeny.
Yes, there are many online resources available for studying polyatomic molecules. Some websites that provide information and resources include Chemguide, Khan Academy, and Chemistry LibreTexts.
A basic understanding of chemistry and physics is necessary to study polyatomic molecules. Familiarity with concepts such as atomic structure, chemical bonding, and molecular geometry will also be helpful in understanding the properties of these molecules.
