The book covers topics such as orbitals in quantum-chemical calculations; electronic ionizations and transitions; molecular-orbital change distributions; orbital transformations and calculations not involving orbitals; and electron densities and shapes in atoms and molecules. Also included in the book are the cross-sectional plots of electron densities of compounds such as organic compounds like methane, ethane, and ethylene; monomeric lithium fluoride and monomeric methyl lithium; hydrogen cyanide and methinophosphide; and monomeric borane and diborane. The text is recommended for those who have begun taking an interest in quantum chemistry but do not wish to deal yet with the mathematics part of the subject.
