Product Description
High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! In chemistry, a molecular orbital(or MO ) is a mathematical function that describes the wave-like behavior of an electron in a molecule. This function can be used to calculate chemical and physical properties such as the probability of finding an electron in any specific region. The use of the term "orbital" was first used in English by Robert S. Mulliken in 1925 as the English translation of Schrödinger's use of the German word, 'Eigenfunktion'. It has since been equated with the "region" generated with the function. Molecular orbitals are usually constructed by combining atomic orbitals or hybrid orbitals from each atom of the molecule, or other molecular orbitals from groups of atoms. They can be quantitatively calculated using the Hartree-Fock or Self-Consistent Field method. ... Read more

Excerpt: Erwin Rudolf Josef Alexander Schrödinger (German pronunciation: ; 12 August 1887, Erdberg 4 January 1961, Vienna) was an Austrian theoretical physicist who achieved fame for his contributions to quantum mechanics, especially the Schrödinger equation, for which he received the Nobel Prize in 1933. In 1935, after extensive correspondence with personal friend Albert Einstein, he proposed the Schrödinger's cat thought experiment. In 1887 Schrödinger was born in Vienna, Austria to Rudolf Schrödinger (cerecloth producer, botanist) and Georgine Emilia Brenda (daughter of Alexander Bauer, Professor of Chemistry, k.u.k. Technische Hochschule Vienna). His mother was half Austrian and half English; the English side of her family came from Leamington Spa. Schrödinger learned English and German almost at the same time due to the fact that both were spoken in the family household. His father was a Catholic and his mother was a Lutheran. In 1898 he attended the Akademisches Gymnasium. Between 1906 and 1910 Schrödinger studied in Vienna under Franz Serafin Exner (18491926) and Friedrich Hasenöhrl (18741915). He also conducted experimental work with K.W.F. Kohlrausch. In 1911, Schrödinger became an assistant to Exner. At an early age, Schrödinger...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=9942 ... Read more

tradutorre tradittore
Title says it all: either the translator (if this is a translation from german, but I doubt) or the author (I believe actually the latter) do not have enough command of the english language to make it a smooth read. It's a pitty, there are very nice/interesting points of view, and I do not think that just the advanced concepts are to blame for the difficulty of the readout. Any takers out there among the native english speakers nobel laureats to rewrite a classic ?

An excellent guide in statistical thermodynamics
This book is an excellent guide in statistical thermodynamics. It's started with the theoretical justification of phenomenological thermodynamics and its system of concepts. In principle the methods ofstatistical mechanics are applicable to non-equilibrium states as well asto equilibrium properties. The author (Nobel prize,1933) treats only thetheory of equilibrium properties for which the destination"Statistical Thermodynamics" has been adopted.As aconsequence of the structure of phenomenological thermodynamic, statisticalthermodynamics developed in this book separates into two principal parts:the derivation of thermodynamic principles and the calculation ofthermodynamic functions for concrete systems. This text seemsespecially good for teaching basic thermodynamics and statisticalmechanics. I recommend this book especially for students, because it'shighest quality is the clarity of the exposed physical ideas. ... Read more

Straight from the mind of a genius: Erwin Schrodinger on physics of reality
This is a collection of nine essays eight of which originally appeared under the title Science and the Human Temperament. The ninth chapter contains the address given by Schrödinger on the occasion of the Nobel Prize award for his discovery of wave mechanics. His profound knowledge and deep philosophical thought are reflected in each chapter as he walks through the nature of reality as perceived by classical and quantum physics. The critical issues discussed are:Is cause - effect relationship required for physical reality? Does statistical and chance (probabilities) replace cause and effect? How quantum uncertainty affects physical reality? Could we determine the initial state of an electron? Does positivism makes sense in quantum world. These are some of the questions asked, and he tries to answer them with an easy to understand language. This work is another example of this great genius who was curious about life and the universe from a very young age.

Schrodinger credits Franz Exener, Fritz Hasenoehrl, and David Hume for the idea of departing from mechanical concept of cause and effect. He suggests statistical outcome to replace pure cause - effect relationship. But practical impossibility to determine the initial state of an electron in spacetime precludes from understanding the final (effected) state of the electron. Statistical laws are even more clearly manifested when the behavior of each individual particle is undetermined. It is likely chance (probability) lies at the root of casualty. If the behavior of each atom in every single event is determined by casualty then the details of each individual cause - effect events in a multi-electron system must be registered (positivism,) in reality only the statistical outcome is registered. Thus chance is primarily important for the observed reality. The second alternative is the compulsion of physical law and not probability (chance) and statistical outcome would determine reality. An experiment can not decide between these two possibilities because scientific reasoning will allow us either to derive chance from law or law from chance. If mass, position and velocity of an entity is precisely known at the very start, and then the future behavior is easily predicted by classical physics. But classical physics does not make sense in quantum world (subatomic level), because identical conditions at a point in time do not invariably lead to identical results, but it results in identical statistical outcome; the relative frequencies of various possible events. According to Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, the velocity for a precisely defined position in space is not determinable. The second problem is determining the actual state of an electron. For example, it does not have a definite orbit around the nucleus that can be virtually detected, and it is in a state of perpetual motion around the nucleus without losing kinetic energy contrary to laws of classical physics. Experiments can measure only the energy level difference recorded in the form spectra. Virtual observation is essential to confirm the real existence of an object according classical physics. The exact registration of electromagnetic field generated by moving electron is precluded by Heisenberg uncertainty principle. Uncertainty principle is not an incomplete knowledge. The current view does not accept either ubiety or velocity as permanent objective realities. The word finding a particle at point A does not imply that it was there before. Our measuring device has brought it there or we disturbed its velocity while measuring and this doesn't imply it had a value. The implications of being and having are not the same even though the positivist philosophy concludes that they are one and the same.
