New Features

The book is designed for an undergraduate course on Physical Chemistry taken by all undergraduate students of chemistry. The objective of the book is to help the students deal with various concepts of physical chemistry without an obscuring mathematical screen. Applications tie more closely to the principles on which they are based for e.g. some aspects of photochemistry have been dealt along with spectroscopy, while others have been treated along with chemical kinetics. A great conceptual simplification of thermodynamics by developing it in terms of changes in the properties of system and the changes in the entropy of its thermal and mechanical surroundings. Solved problems with end-of-chapter exercises arranged topically.
