This
textbook is all-inclusive to both general and physical chemistry. It begins with
the particulate nature of matter and progresses through critical issues such as
atomic structure, chemical bonding, and behavior of gases. The text
substantially covers chemical thermodynamics and its applications in
equilibrium, acid-base chemistry, and redox reactions, which provides the
theoretical tools for understanding chemical systems. The book also covers phase
equilibria, transport properties of electrolytic solutions, the principles of
thermochemistry and chromatography; hence, it is a must-read for any student at
an advanced level pursuing chemistry.

This textbook
takes a practical approach to physical chemistry by providing an application of
the fundamental principles in real settings. The first topics in this textbook
include the first and second laws of thermodynamics, Gibbs free energy, phase
equilibria, chemical equilibrium, electrochemical principles, quantum chemistry,
and statistical mechanics. It dwells on three-dimensional systems and the
time-dependent Schrödinger equation in which quite complex chemical dynamics can
be explained in further detail. It is especially for advanced learners and helps
them achieve theoretical knowledge as well as practical insights into the
behavior of chemical systems and their interactions in various environments.
