ABOUT THE BOOK: The book is divided into fourteen chapters. The first one comprises concept of atom followed by long form of the periodic table in the second chapter as per recommendations of 2005 and the permanent naming and their symbols are discussed from atomic number 100 to 111 as also element number 112. Inert pair effect is explained with reference to the relativistic effect. For the interest of inquisitive students, the orientation of hybrid orbitals is briefly discussed in the third chapter. Some interesting application of molecular orbital theory is included in this chapter. Elaborate discussion of the concept of acids and bases have been made in the fourth chapter with a brief resume of the terrestrial distribution of elements (Sec. 4.5.5). Symbiosis, some important application of SHAB principle, and correlation of acidity of metal cations has also been discussed in this chapter. In order to cover the syllabus of some parts of analytical chemistry, the non-aqueous titrations are included in the fifth chapter. The important theoretical discussion regarding redox processes in analytical chemistry as also a brief resume of masking and demasking is the content of the sixth chapter. The largest number of solved problems and exercises have been incorporated in the last chapter (coordination chemistry) which also has a discussion on coordination polymer.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Dr. Sankar Prosad Banerjee, did his M.Sc. with specialisation in Inorganic Chemistry in 1969 from the University of Burdwan. He joined the same university as a full-time Research Scholar in 1971 and received his Ph.D. degree in 1977 under the supervision of Prof. R. L. Dutta. He has published several research papers and a review article in the area of Coordination Chemistry. He joined the Vivekananda Mahavidyalaya, Burdwan in July 1973 as a lecturer and served the college till his retirement in January, 2008 from the position of Associate Professor and Head of the Department of Chemistry (U.G. and P.G.). Presently the author is associated with the teaching of Postgraduate students of Vivekananda Mahavidyalaya, Burdwan.
