this textbook has been developed
and arranged to provide a logical progression from fundamental to more advanced
concepts of chemical science. Topics are introduced within the context of
familiar experiences whenever possible treated with an appropriate rigor to satisfy the intellect of the learner, and
reinforced in subsequent discussions of related content. Topics covered
includes: Atoms, Molecules, and Ions, Thermochemistry, Stoichiometry of Chemical
Reactions, Composition of Substances and Solutions, Electronic Structures
and Periodic Properties of Elements, Chemical Bonding and Molecular Geometry,
Advanced Theories of Covalent Bonding, Gases, Liquids and Solids, Solutions and
Colloids, Kinetics, Thermodynamics, Fundamental Equilibrium Concepts, Equilibria
of Other Reaction Classes, Organic Chemistry, Electrochemistry and nuclear
Chemistry.
Dr.
Monalisa Mohapatra's notes deal with advanced topics of chemistry, such as
dilute solutions, homogeneous equilibrium, chemical kinetics, and
thermodynamics. The notes also discuss the second law of thermodynamics and help
the students understand the fundamental principles that govern energy exchanges
in chemical reactions. The resource further introduces the students to
thermochemistry, where it discusses the flow of heat and energy during chemical
reactions. It is excellent for intermediate to advanced students, making it
clear how different chemical processes relate to one another and the
thermodynamic principles underlying them. This makes this the solid backbone for
those pursuing more in-depth studies in chemistry.
This all-inclusive PDF covers all the
areas that a student of chemistry would be taught at secondary school, ranging
from the very basic atomic theory to very advanced concepts such as
electrochemical reactions and global biogeochemical cycles. The paper starts
with classification of matter, atomic structure, and intermolecular forces
before moving on to organic chemistry, chemical change, and reaction rates. The
document covers discussion about ideal gas law, change in energy during
reactions, and quantitative aspects of chemical change. One of the great
features of this resource is that it has been explored environmental chemistry
such as water cycle and the nitrogen cycle; it shows an all-rounded view of how
chemistry plays out in nature.
