Available in Split Volumes For maximum flexibility in your physical chemistry course, this text is now offered as a traditional text or in two volumes. Volume 1: Thermodynamics and Kinetics ; ISBN 1-4292-3127-0 Volume 2: Quantum Chemistry, Spectroscopy, and Statistical Thermodynamics ; ISBN 1-4292-3126-2 Review: Very rich resource. - Here is my opinion as a physical chemist. This book is wonderful for introduction to spectroscopy. The thermo is presented well, but you will need solutions to accompany the problems. People who give this a bad review take the route of avoiding rigorous material and just trying to scrap by (the organic chemistry way); but a real spectroscopist or physical chemist never avoid material. This book is not meant to have all the information that you need, but it will prepare you for more advanced literature and publications. This book is mathematical in its justifications and explanations, which in my eyes is the best proof. Atkins is explicit and never incorrectly presents a technique. This a very rich resource, but it alone will not get you through. These topics are rigorous, this is by far the best textbook though. I used this book for four undergraduate courses (Quantum chem, thermodynamics, PChem Lab I&II), it takes way longer than a semester to get through it all. This is by no means an easy read, but reading for physical chemistry isn't. Review: Time to ace P Chem - If you're tackling the world of physical chemistry, the newest edition of this textbook is like your trusty sidekick. It's like having a knowledgeable friend who speaks your language and helps you grasp those tough concepts. Imagine colorful visuals that make even the trickiest ideas pop, and cool online tools that bring chemistry to life in ways you never thought possible. This book takes the confusion out of physical chemistry and replaces it with excitement and understanding. It's not just a textbook – it's your ticket to acing that class and having a blast while you're at it! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #253,137 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #10 in Physical Chemistry #281 in Chemistry (Books) #306 in General Chemistry | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 121 Reviews | ## Images ![Physical Chemistry, 9th Edition - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/711sDTiB+1L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very rich resource. *by R***R on August 22, 2014* Here is my opinion as a physical chemist.

Still not the best. *by B***H on October 14, 2010* People either like Atkins' Physical Chemistry or loathe it. I like his book. The problems at the end of each section are excellent. I like how justifications for fundamental concepts are provided. One of the better modifications of the book was moving the relevant mathematical reviews to the end of the chapters where they apply. I believe this was in the 8th edition (I don't remember), but in the back there is also a section about where the relevant equations come from. The publisher also made sure to use better binding this time around. The binding is very tight compared to the 8th edition. I still feel that too many of the theoretical problems are critical concepts and should not have to be proved by the student. I do understand having them prove some, but those should mostly be proved by the author or instructor. Proof at this level should be trivial results that are obvious extensions of fundamental concepts. Outside of that, Atkins is one of the better junior level physical chemistry books. If you need something more advanced, McQuarrie is a much better text for an advanced physical chemistry class. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.at/products/22526619-physical-chemistry-9th-edition](https://www.desertcart.at/products/22526619-physical-chemistry-9th-edition) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-09-04*
