Chemical bonds outside metal surfaces

Book ·
OSTI ID:7042829
This text presents the way in which valence theory can be synthesized with the understanding of metals that has been gained over the last half century. Topics discussed include chemisorption in ionic and covalent limits, thermodynamics of adsorption and desorption, reaction mechanisms outside surfaces, interaction between two hydrogen atoms, detailed bonding studies, conformation of NH/sub 3/ and C/sub 2/H/sub 4/ molecules, interaction between adsorbates, adsorbate frequency shifts, Kramer's equation in a metallic medium, desorption induced by electronic transitions, relevance of Woodward-Hoffman rules to single-crystal catalysts, and chemical oscillations.
