The work addresses the subject of physical chemistry, and the original book is considered one of the most important and prominent references in the field of chemistry and physical chemistry. The book comprises three parts containing twenty-nine chapters. In the first part, the author addresses the concept of equilibrium and addresses the following topics: gases, chemical thermodynamics, phase changes, and chemical equilibrium.
In the second part, the book discusses the subject of structure through an analysis of quantum theory, atomic and molecular structure, spectroscopy, molecular properties, chemical analysis techniques, and colloids.
The third part is devoted to the subject of change and includes the following topics: chemical kinetics, reaction dynamics, and physical changes.
The translation is characterized by clarity and precision, despite the large size of the original work, which reached 1,357 pages. The translated work appears to have, on the whole, preserved the original content, as the translators succeeded in accurately and clearly translating the terminology. The work is important for specialists in the field of physical chemistry, and its importance is highlighted by the number of editions it has been printed in and the number of languages ​​into which it has been translated. Its translation into Arabic represents a contribution to the transfer of knowledge and the enrichment of the Arabic language and its scientific terminology in the field of physical chemistry.
