Quantum mechanics is cast in a language that is not familiar to most students of chemistry who are examining the subject for the first time. Its mathematical content and how it relates to experimental measurements both require a great deal of effort to master. With these thoughts in mind, the authors have organized this introductory section in a manner that first provides the student with a brief introduction to the two primary constructs of quantum mechanics, operators and wavefunctions that obey a Schrodinger equation, then demonstrates the application of these constructs to several chemically relevant model problems, and finally returns to examine in more detail the conceptual structure of quantum mechanics. 

The goal of this text is to build on the foundation of introductory organic chemistry to provide students and other readers a deeper understanding of structure and mechanism and the relationships between them. We have provided specific data and examples with which to illustrate the general principles that are discussed. Our purpose is to solidify the student s understanding of the basic concepts, but also to illustrate the way specific structural changes influence mechanism and reactivity. 

In order to fully appreciate the widespread application that molecular modeling can find in beginning organic chemistry, it is important to appreciate the fundamental relationship between molecular structure and chemical, physical and biological properties. So-called structure-property relationships are explored in nearly every college chemistry course, whether introductory or advanced. Students are first taught about the structures of molecules, and are then taught how to relate structure to molecular properties.

Study, the students are taught the basic concepts of chemistry such as the kinetic theory of matter, atomic stmcture, chemical bonding, stoichiometry and chemical calculations, kinetics, energetics, oxidation-reduction, electrochemistry, as well as introductory inorgarric and organic chemistry. They also acquire basic laboratory skills as they carry out simple experiments on rates of reaction and heat of reaction, as well as volrrmetric analysis and qualitative analysis in their laboratory sessions.

Physical organic chemistry is to be viewed as a particular approach to scientific enquiry rather than a further intellectual specialization. Thus organic compounds are taken to include organometallic compounds, and relevant aspects of physical, theoretical, inorganic and biological chemistry are incorporated in reviews where appropriate. Contributors are encouraged to provide suiRcient introductory material to permit non-specialists to appreciate fully current problems and the most recent advances. 

The book is divided into five parts. We progressively work our way from primarily compound-related aspects (intrinsic compound properties and reactivities) up to whole environmental system considerations. In the second introductory chapter (Chapter 2), we turn our attention to the main actors of this book anthropogenic organic chemicals. We review some terminology and basic concepts used in organic chemistry, and we take a glimpse at the structures of several different important classes of environmental organic chemicals. 

The purpose of this book is to provide an introductory account of the major types of organic photochemical reaction, so that students and others with some prior knowledgeof basic organic chemistry can... 

SAMPLE SOLUTION (a) Bromobenzene is an aryl halide and is unreactive toward nucleophilic substitution by cyanide ion. The route QHsBr C6H5CN C6HSC02H fails because the first step fails. The route proceeding through the Grignard reagent is perfectly satisfactory and appears as an experiment in a number of introductory organic chemistry laboratory texts.
