And so chemistry surpasses other disciplines in usefulness it is now impossible for it to harm what is pure and holy through abuse (...) In physics we can be of good cheer with this guide, in medicine all possible good may be expected from it. It teaches most faithfully how the deepest secrets may be revealed, intricacies be disentangled, how hidden forces of bodies may be discovered, imitated, changed, applied, and perfected. 

Derry (1999) writes Chemistry studies reactions between atoms and molecules, forming and breaking chemical bonds. The bonds are formed by electrons, subject to the equations of quantum physics. So chemistry is reducible to physics. Chemical bonds are not, contrary to this claim, subject to in the sense of their being reducible... 

Chemistry is the science that studies atoms and molecules along with their properties. All matter is composed of atoms and molecules, so chemistry is all encompassing and is referred to as the central science because all other scientific fields use its discoveries. Since the science of chemistry is so broad, it is normally broken into fields or branches of specialization. The five main branches of chemistry are analytical, inorganic, organic, physical, and biochemistry. Chemistry is an experimental science that is constantly being advanced by new discoveries. It is the intent of this collection to present the reader with a broad spectrum of articles in the various branches of chemistry that demonstrates key developments in these rapidly changing fields. 

But chemistry is not only about matter that is just sitting there. Just as importantly, if not more so, chemistry is also the science of changes, or transformations, of matter. At a nuclear level—a scale smaller than an atom itself—these changes maybe the transmutation of one element into another element At the level of whole atoms and molecules, these changes involve the processes of breaking chemical bonds and forming new bonds with the result that one set of chemical substances—or mixtm-es of substances—are transformed into a new set of substances that may have properties that differ completely from those of the original materials.

Heterogeneous photochemical reactions fall in the general category of photochemistry—often specific adsorbate excited states are involved (see, e.g.. Ref. 318.) Photodissociation processes may lead to reactive radical or other species electronic excited states may be produced that have their own chemistry so that there is specificity of reaction. The term photocatalysis has been used but can be stigmatized as an oxymoron light cannot be a catalyst—it is not recovered unchanged. 

The purpose of this chapter is to provide an introduction to tlie basic framework of quantum mechanics, with an emphasis on aspects that are most relevant for the study of atoms and molecules. After siumnarizing the basic principles of the subject that represent required knowledge for all students of physical chemistry, the independent-particle approximation so important in molecular quantum mechanics is introduced. A significant effort is made to describe this approach in detail and to coimnunicate how it is used as a foundation for qualitative understanding and as a basis for more accurate treatments. Following this, the basic teclmiques used in accurate calculations that go beyond the independent-particle picture (variational method and perturbation theory) are described, with some attention given to how they are actually used in practical calculations. 

Another approach to mass analysis is based on stable ion trajectories in quadnipole fields. The two most prominent members of this family of mass spectrometers are the quadnipole mass filter and the quadnipole ion trap. Quadnipole mass filters are one of the most connnon mass spectrometers, being extensively used as detectors in analytical instnunents, especially gas clnomatographs. The quadnipole ion trap (which also goes by the name quadnipole ion store, QUISTOR , Paul trap, or just ion trap) is fairly new to the physical chemistry laboratory. Its early development was due to its use as an inexpensive alternative to tandem magnetic sector and quadnipole filter instnunents for analytical analysis. It has, however, staned to be used more in die chemical physics and physical chemistry domains, and so it will be described in some detail in this section. 

The rates of several chemical reactions accelerate by factors of 10 or more between 0.1 and 100 MPa at ambient temperature, so much interesting chemistry occurs at these lower pressures. At such Tow pressures, Bridgman [26] even showed how to cook eggs at room temperature. 

B2.5.351 after multiphoton excitation via the CF stretching vibration at 1070 cm. More than 17 photons are needed to break the C-I bond, a typical value in IR laser chemistry. Contributions from direct absorption (i) are insignificant, so that the process almost exclusively follows the quasi-resonant mechanism (iii), which can be treated by generalized first-order kinetics. As an example, figure B2.5.15 illustrates the fonnation of I atoms (upper trace) during excitation with the pulse sequence of a mode-coupled CO2 laser (lower trace). In addition to the mtensity, /, the fluence, F, of radiation is a very important parameter in IR laser chemistry (and more generally in nuiltiphoton excitation) ...
