Book recommendations for Physical Chemistry

Click For Summary
For undergraduate students seeking accessible resources in physical chemistry, "Physical Chemistry" by Castellan is recommended for its clear explanations. "Equilibrium Thermodynamics" by Adkins is also suggested, although opinions on Atkins' "Physical Chemistry" vary, with some appreciating its content while others find it less favorable. Overall, the focus is on finding books that thoroughly explain concepts such as equilibrium and kinetics.
