Preface
As we know st udent s ar e t he backbone of our count r y and t hey ar e having t he power t o move
t he count r y ahead of t ime. The whole wor ld would salut e t hem in fut ur e for t heir gr eat r esear ch
wor k for r evolut ionar y invent ion of M edical dr ug. I nor der t o help t hem t o achieve t he t ar get we
tried to publish the book based on “ I NORGANI C CH EM I ST RY” which will serve as an impor tant
t ool for t hose who want t o shine in var ious compet it ive examinat ions (Engineer ing & M edical).
I t helps t o get an edge over ot her t o become an “ I I T” ian ; a “ NI I T” ian or an AI I M S scholar. M y
aim in t his book is t o pr ovide a compr ehensive and cont empor ar y int r oduct ion about t he subject .
The pr oblems given in t his book ar e t hor oughly innovat ive.
M ost of t he st udent s find I nor ganic Chemist r y as bor ing subject . I n my opinion it ’s not a bor ing
subject , it ’s a scor ing subject . But t o scor e it one needs t o develop int er est wit hin t he subject .
Along wi t h so many object i ve t ype quest ions which ar e desi gned scient i fi call y for var i ous
engineer ing examinat ions, a lot of ot her t ype quest ions e.g., mult iple choice quest ions, int eger
t ypes quest ions ar e given in t he book which pr ove t o be ext r emely useful t o cr ack t he I I T-JEE
Advanced examinat ions. Also emphasis is given t o pr ovide “ Compr ehension t ype” & “ M at r ix
M at ch t ype” quest ions which make t he book unique and differ ent fr om all ot her books available
in t he mar ket . So by solving all t ypes of pr oblems an aver age st udent can develop confidence in
I I T-JEE (M ain & Advanced) examinat ion. By t his way t his book can set a visionar y example t o
connect best chunk of st udent s wit h I I T-JEE examinat ion.
I have t he pr ivilege t o t each t he st udent s “ I N ORGAN I C CH EM I ST RY” ever y year. But a

lar ge number of st udent s who ar e not t aught by me can be immensely benefit t ed by t his book.
They can connect myself wit h my t eaching met hodology t hr ough t his book. M y pur pose will be
accomplished when someone can feel “ Pau l Si r ’s” met hods t o t each I nor ganic chemist r y in
absence of myself.
