Physical Chemistry Quotes

Chemistry has been termed by the physicist as the messy part of physics, but that is no reason why the physicists should be permitted to make a mess of chemistry when they invade it.

My own interest in basic aspects of electron transfer between metal complexes became active only after I came to the University of Chicago in 1946.

I do not want chemistry to degenerate into a religion; I do not want the chemist to believe in the existence of atoms as the Christian believes in the existence of Christ in the communion wafer.

I must confess that, at that time, I had absolutely no knowledge of the slowness of the relaxation processes in the ground state, processes which take place in collisions with the wall or with the molecules of a foreign gas.

All theoretical chemistry is really physics; and all theoretical chemists know it.

Not every collision, not every punctilious trajectory by which billiard-ball complexes arrive at their calculable meeting places lead to reaction. ... Men (and women) are not as different from molecules as they think.

In 1960, I enrolled in the chemical engineering program at UNAM, as this was then the closest way to become a physical chemist, taking math-oriented courses not available to chemistry majors.

Are you telling me your brain and your lady parts decided on a love fest bake-off winner?

The second I met Zac, I thought he was a really cool guy. It's hard not to have chemistry with someone who is so attractive.

The theoretical side of physical chemistry is and will probably remain the dominant one; it is by this peculiarity that it has exerted such a great influence upon the neighboring sciences, pure and applied, and on this ground physical chemistry may be regarded as an excellent school of exact reasoning for all students of the natural sciences.

Still...you turn me on

I must really confess right here, the attraction was purely physical.

When I began playing around at being a physical chemist, I enjoyed very much doing work on the structure of DNA molecules, something which I would never have dreamed of doing before I started.

I have to really enjoy someone's personality, not just their looks, before I'll kiss them.

Chemistry is the melodies you can play on vibrating strings.

You can realign people's physical chemistry with sound.

The first education to be a good chemist is to do well in high school science courses. Then, you go to college to really become a chemist. You want to take science and math. Those are the main things.

You see something you like?" I asked, echoing something I'd said to him ling ago, when he'd caught me in a compromising position at school. "Lots," he said. -Rose (Roza) to Dimitri

One of the most sublime and hazardous moments in human experience comes when two people lock eyes and realize that they are sexually attracted to one another.
