About The Book

Chemistry Handbook: A Legend Book for B.Sc. III Semester is a comprehensive and student-friendly guide tailored to meet the academic needs of undergraduate students studying Physical and Inorganic Chemistry. This book is meticulously structured to align with the core curriculum followed by most Indian universities, making it an essential resource for B.Sc. Chemistry students and those pursuing allied disciplines.

The content is presented in a clear and accessible manner, ensuring that even complex chemical concepts are simplified without compromising scientific accuracy. The book is divided into four major units: transition and inner transition elements, redox reactions and coordination compounds, thermodynamics, & electrochemistry. Each unit is further broken down into well-organized chapters and subtopics, promoting clarity and ease of understanding.

Students will gain insights into the unique properties of d- and f-block elements, the significance of lanthanide contraction, & the comparative behaviors across transition metals. Modern tools like Latimer, Frost, and Pourbaix diagrams are used to explain redox reactions, while classical bonding theories, including Werner’s theory and Valence Bond Theory, offer a solid foundation in coordination chemistry.
