J. ARTHUR CAMPBELL Harvey Mudd College With chapters by TAD A. BECKMAN STEPHEN V. FILSETH KENNETH M. HARMON MITSURU KUBOTA PHILIP C. MYHRE WILLIAM G. SLY ROY A. WHITEKER Harvey Mudd College NEAL W. CORNELL Pomona College Because of the widespread success of various efforts to improve the teaching of science in high schools, many of today's incoming freshmen have had excellent preparation in chemistry and related subjects. Others who may not have had the benefit of improved science curricula may be less well prepared —though not any less able or well motivated. This college textbook in general chemistry—written by a former director of one of the most influential high school chemistry curriculum projects, CHEM Study—is designed for students of varying preparation who have a strong interest in science. Specifically intended for those who plan to major in science or engineering, Chemical Systems—Energetics, Dynamics, Structure provides a thorough introduction to general chemistry together with enough physical chemistry to serve as background for all further undergraduate science courses that these students may take. It contains the fundamental material needed by students with minimal backgrounds, and, clearly set off in optional sections, a large amount of advanced material that will interest and challenge even the best-prepared students. The book offers the teacher a high degree of flexibility in planning his course. It contains enough material for a three-semester course combining reaction chemistry and physical chemistry, but because much of the advanced material (nearly one-third of the text) is not essential to an understanding of the rest, the book can also be adapted to one-year courses. The author emphasizes the understanding of the properties of matter in terms of molecular behavior. From the beginning he simultaneously develops topics in reaction chemistry and physical chemistry, showing how an understanding of one can help in understanding the other. Important concepts of thermodynamics such as entropy are introduced as early as the first chapter and reappear throughout, with particular emphasis on statistical interpretations. Experimental observations precede and serve as the basis for theoretical interpretations, and the relative strengths of alternative theories are discussed. A recurring theme is the intimate involvement of chemistry in human affairs. The book is divided into seven parts, each of which addresses itself to a question that is central to the study of chemistry: 1) What models are useful in describing molecular behavior? 2) What holds molecules together? 3) To what extent do reactions occur? 4) How do reactions occur? 5) Why do net reactions occur? 6) How does structure affect properties? 7) How are chemical reactions used? More than 350 solved exercises illustrate points under discussion, and an additional 700 problems appear at the ends of chapters, grouped according to increasing difficulty. J. ARTHUR CAMPBELL has been a teacher of chemistry for nearly thirty years. He received an A.B. degree from Oberlin College in 1938, an M.A. degree from Purdue University the following year, and a Ph.D. degree from the University of California, Berkeley, in 1942. During World War II he participated in the Manhattan Project and conducted research on plutonium chemistry, at the same time serving as an instructor of chemistry at the University of California, Berkeley. In 1945 he joined the faculty of Oberlin College, and from 1954 to 1957 he was Professor of Chemistry there. In 1957 he was named Professor and Chairman of the Department of Chemistry at Harvey Mudd College, one of the Claremont Colleges, and has taught there since. In 1960 Professor Campbell became the first Director of the influential high school chemistry curriculum project, Chemical Education Material Study (CHEM Study), and Harvey Mudd College was selected as one of the two centers where the curriculum would be planned and tested (the other was the University of California, Berkeley). Professor Campbell served as Director of CHEM Study until 1963, and his influence is evident in every aspect of the project. Chemical Systems—Energetics, Dynamics, Structure is designed to build upon the foundation provided by CHEM Study. "If CHEM Study had not accomplished what it did," the author has remarked, "I would not have written this textbook:' Professor Campbell has received many awards and honors. He was named a fellow of the Fund for Advanced Education in 1952. He received a Guggenheim Fellowship for study in Kyoto and Cambridge Universities and a National Science Foundation Science Faculty Fellowship at the Harvard Center for Population Studies in 1969. He also holds the James Flack Norris Award of the Northeastern Section of the American Chemical Society (1964), the Manufacturing Chemists' Award for Excellence in the Teaching of Chemistry (1962), and the Southern California Industry-Education Council Award (1967). During 1969-70 he served in UNESCO as a science specialist in southern and eastern Asia. Professor Campbell is the author of Why Do Chemical Reactions Occur?, and of General Chemistry (with Luke E. Steiner). JACKET PHOTOGRAPH: Nucleation initiated at two separate times in a silicone polymer; hence the two different sizes of crystals. Photo courtesy of Fraser P.
