• The gold standard physical chemistry text, which evolves with every edition to meet the needs of current students
• Exceptional mathematical support - including annotated equations, equation checklists, and mathematical resources - enables students to master the maths which underlies physical chemistry
• The development of problem solving and analytical skills is actively encouraged by frequent worked examples, discussion questions, exercises, and problems
• A range of other learning features, including video tutorials, brief illustrations, and key concept checklists, are incorporated throughout to aid students in their study of physical chemistry

New to this Edition:

• A refreshed writing style is designed to retain clarity whilst matching the way you read
• A new prologue, 'Energy: A First Look', provides you with the conceptual foundations on which to build your knowledge and understanding of physical chemistry
• A new Topic within Focus 9 introduces you to the underlying principles of computational chemistry
• New digital content includes 19 video tutorials about the key equations introduced in each Focus, interviews with physical chemists working in a range of industries, and dynamic graphs
• Further self-test material added, including over 200 multiple choice questions, and extra exercises, which now total over 1,000, and problems, totalling over 700.

  
The exceptional quality of previous editions has been built upon to make the twelfth edition of Atkins' Physical Chemistry even more closely suited to the needs of both lecturers and students. The writing style has been refreshed in collaboration with current students of physical chemistry in order to retain the clarity for which the book is recognised while mirroring the way you read and engage with information.
    
Digital enhancements introduced for the new edition include dynamic graphs, which you can interact with to explore how the manipulation of variables affects the results of the graphs; self-check questions at the end of every Topic; video content from physical chemists; and video tutorials to accompany each Focus, which dig deeper into the key equations introduced. There is also a new foundational prologue entitled 'Energy: A First Look', which summarizes key concepts that are best kept in mind right from the beginning of your physical chemistry studies.
   
The coupling of the broad coverage of the subject with a structure and use of pedagogy that is even more innovative will ensure Atkins' Physical Chemistry remains the textbook of choice for studying physical chemistry.
