Introduction and Description of the Properties of Matter II. First Law of Thermodynamics III. Thermochemistry N2 - ´Thermodynamics is the core of introductory physical chemistry, and it is presented first to leave no doubts that it is self-contained. A minimum of non-thermodynamic explanation has been interpolated because it obscures the monolithic simplicity of thermodynamics and implies a fatal deficiency. The presentation of atomic and molecular structure has been trated more extensively, in both deph and scope. The final chapter on chemical statistics synthesizes these separate discipline, but his order of presentation can be modified, and even inverted.´ ER -
