Treats the important area of surface chemistry - or what happens on a molecular level when one substance comes in contact with another. Provides an understanding of the principles which govern adsorption and reactions of gases on solid surfaces. Describes what occurs and why processes happen the way they do, including discussions of applications.

Chemical kinetics involves the rates at which chemical reactions occur and helps explain many natural and mechanical phenomena. For instance, kinetics explains how pharmaceuticals function in a biological system and how pollutants produced by combustion engines are converted for release into the atmosphere.
