Book Summary:

We feel immense pleasure in presenting ‘Comprehensive Chemistry’ for students of Senior High Schools. The text is strictly based on the guidelines and syllabus issued by the Ministry of Education. While developing the text, a sincere attempt has been made to keep the language and presentation simple and free from confusion.

Silent Features:

• The Book Has Been Designed In Such A Way That The Students, As Well As The Teachers, Will Feel Confident In Achieving The General And Specific Objectives Recommended In The Syllabus Designed By The Curriculum Research And Development Division (Crdd) Of The Ministry Of Education, Science, And Sports.

• The Book Closely Follows The Order In Which The Curriculum For Senior High School Chemistry Has Been Organised This Will Ensure That All Aspects Of The Syllabus Are Covered.

• Each Unit Begins With A List Of Specific Objectives So That The Student Knows What Goals Are Expected To Be Achieved By A Careful Study Of The Unit.

• The Language Level And Depth In The Text Reflect The Year Group For Which The Text Is Written. This Facilitates Easy Reading And Understanding.

• The Text Is Well And Attractively Illustrated With Large, Simple, Clear, And Fully Labelled Diagrams To Aid Quick Understanding And To Arouse Interest.

• A Large Number Of Different Types Of Numerical Problems And Conceptual Questions Have Been Solved As Examples Wherever Required.

• Each Unit Ends With A Set Of Multiple Choice And Discussion Questions Entitled Evaluate Yourself. This Is To Enable The Student to Check Her Understanding Of The Text. These Questions Cover The Full Range Of The Aims And Objectives Of The Syllabus.

• Answers To The Objective Questions, Fill In The Blanks, And Numerical Problems Are Provided At The End Of Each Selfevaluation Exercise.
