Algebraic Chemistry: Applications and Origins

ISBN: 9781622578665 出版年：2013 页码：386 Cynthia Kolb Whitney Nova Science

Algebraic chemistry is based on numerical patterns observed in readily available data about ionization potentials of atoms, and on a physical model that interpolates and extrapolates from that data to situations for which data is not readily available, such as ionization potentials for atoms that are already ionized, or corresponding energy increments involved in adding, rather than subtracting, electrons. This Book presents an approach to chemistry that permits numerical evaluation of many chemical scenarios without use of much computation power. Everything here can be worked out with a hand calculator. The approach thus makes numerical analysis of scenarios in chemistry feasible for students, or up-coming researchers, or retirees, who work with minimal financial support.
