Field review of ‘A/S’ level chemistry textbooks: PART III Physical chemistry textbooks

Twenty‐one textbooks of physical chemistry are analysed in this part of the review. One other textbook in this category was received for review, but it had been heavily criticised in several scientific journals; the criticisms were deemed just, and so it seemed better to ignore it. Nine of these textbooks are only about physical chemistry, the others couple it with either inorganic alone, or with both inorganic and organic.
