SChands Success Guide (Q & A) Inorganic Chemistry

Different universities have revised their syllabi during the last couple of years, keeping in view the recommendations of University Grants Commission, New Delhi to include their Model Curriculum to the extent possible. This has necessitated the author to make substancial changes in the book. Some worth mentioning changes in the book are:-

1. Matter in chapter 6 on Acids and Bases has been enhanced by including latest information on Pearson’s HASB principle, correlating electronegativity with hardness – softness of acids and bases and M.O. treatment of Hard acids and hard bases

2. There has been substantial expansion in chapter 23 on oxidation and reduction like equilibrium constant and free energy changes related to redox potential, different steps involved in redox cycle, redox stability in the solvent. Matter on Latimer and Frost diagrams has been updated. Additional matter has been Provided on pourbaix and Ellingham diagrams.

3. Topics on white cement, biofertilizers, clay and porcelain industry have been added in chapter 24 on chemical Industries.

4. Chapter 31 is enriched with new topics

The main features of the book are as follows:

1. Authenticate, simple, to the point and modern account of each and every topic.

2. Relevant, clear, well labelled diagrams.

3. Easy to understand treatment of most difficult and intricate topic.

4. Questions from university papers of various Indian Universities have   been included in the text.
