DESCRIPTION

This comprehensive textbook, now in its second edition, is mainly written as per the latest syllabi of 
physical chemistry of all the leading universities of India as well as the new syllabus recommended by
the UGC. This thoroughly revised and updated edition covers the principal areas of physical chemistry,
such as thermodynamics, quantum chemistry, molecular spectroscopy, chemical kinetics,
electrochemistry and nanotechnology.

In a methodical and accessible style, the book discusses classical, irreversible and statistical
thermodynamics and statistical mechanics, and describes macroscopic chemical systems, steady states
and thermodynamics at a molecular level. It elaborates the underlying principles of quantum
mechanics, molecular spectroscopy, X-ray crystallography and solid state chemistry along with their
applications. The book explains various instrumentation techniques such as potentiometry,
polarography, voltammetry, conductometry and coulometry. It also describes kinetics, rate laws and
chemical processes at the electrodes. In addition, the text deals with chemistry of corrosion and
nanomaterials.

This text is primarily designed for the undergraduate and postgraduate students of chemistry (B.Sc.
and M.Sc.) for their course in physical chemistry.
