Advanced Chemistry

Chemistry with no exceptions here. We introduce chemistry as a distinct applicative extension of physics. Here, we show the underlying principles behind all the mnemonics of chemistry and why and how they originated from.

Read the book as a PDF: pdf/Advanced-Chemistry.pdf

Contents

• Chapters/ — Chapters 1–23 (Markdown, LaTeX math)
• Specialization/ — 14 chapters (S1–S14) that show why, how and what leads from the core to each branch of chemistry: organic, inorganic, physical, theoretical, analytical, electrochemistry, solid-state, crystallography, materials, nanochemistry, biochemistry, environmental, industrial and nuclear
• Appendices/ — Appendices A–E (reference material)
• figures/ — all figures; each figures/chNN/ folder is generated by figures/scripts/chNN.py
• TOC.md — master outline · CONTRIBUTING.md — house style

Build the PDF

Requires Node.js ≥ 18 and a local Chrome, Edge or Chromium (set CHROME_PATH if it is not found automatically).

npm install

npm run pdf

This writes dist/Advanced-Chemistry.pdf (KaTeX-rendered math, embedded figures, clickable contents, PDF bookmarks). Build selected parts with:

node scripts/build-pdf.mjs --parts 5,6,A --out dist/excerpt.pdf

Regenerate the figures

Requires Python 3 with numpy, scipy and matplotlib.
