Instead of traditional subdisciplinary chemical subjects, this book uses a unique pedagogical approach that integrates broader impact topics by way of international agreements and protocols achieved and the chemical strategies used to address environmental crises.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eReaders will gain a historical and quantum chemistry perspective of the solar spectrum, learn to derive molecular orbitals, gather an understanding of group theory, and apply these concepts to chemical reactivity and molecular spectroscopy. The textbook provides a basis for continued research and development of these theories by introducing topics like solar fuels, the artificial leaf, photocatalysis, fuel cells, and conceptual solutions such as solar islands. It also presents a focused approach on chemical remediation of acid rain, fluorocarbons, and greenhouse gases such as CO2 and methane.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eClimate Change Chemistry\u003c\/i\u003e explores topics including:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eFundamentals of quantum mechanics, covering the connection between quantum chemistry and the stars, the photoelectric effect, and the uncertainty principle\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eChemical bonding, covering formal charges, oxidation states, bonding, antibonding, and nonbonding MOs, and electron configurations for 2nd row homonuclear diatomics\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eMolecular orbital theory and the applications of electronic structure up to polyatomic molecules\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHydrogen production via artificial photosynthesis and water oxidation\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eWhy some gases are greenhouse gases and others are not\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eClimate Change Chemistry\u003c\/i\u003e is an ideal semester course textbook for senior-level majors and graduate students in Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, and Materials Science programs of study that address climate change.
