Orbitals, terms, levels and states for free atoms and linear molecules provide a basis for the teaching of theoretical chemistry and spectroscopy. Together with the property of angular momentum, they illustrate many of the central attributes of quantum theory and are used throughout chemistry. This book is the first devoted exclusively to orbitals, terms, levels and states, and it describes in some detail the underlying physical structure and ideas. Mathematical explanations are not avoided completely, as this tends to confuse the student by providing an incomplete picture. However, the mathematics used are presented in a simple form and are kept to a minimum. The author has drawn on several years teaching experience in this field and the style and content of the book reflect the student's needs. Areas which students have found difficult are explained fully, making this book a very valuable addition to the existing literature.
