About the book

The book covers a wide range of topics regarding the quantum mechanical structure of atoms and molecules. The book starts from the basics of elementary particles, and quantum phenomena. In chapter 2, the atomic nuclear structure is explored. The third chapter deals with the electronic structure of atoms. Chapter 4 explores the theories of atomic structure. Chapters 5 and 8 deal with atomic and molecular spectra respectively. Chapter 6 deals with the atom in a force field, while chapter 7 deals with chemical forces and molecules. Chapters 9 and 10 look at the properties of atoms and molecules.

The book was translated from the Russian by G. Yankovsky and was designed by V. Dober. The book was published by Foreign Languages Publishing House in 1967.
