Practical Organic Chemistry has a purpose beyond
the apparent function of providing practical training essential to the
prospective chemist. It affords you an opportunity to become acquainted with
number of representative organic compounds, to observe their special properties and
characteristic behaviours, and to have some experience with the methods of
handling them. The contents of this material illustrate important concepts
and principles in general organic chemistry. Three basic goals guided the
development of all experiments in this material.
This Practical Handbook has been introduced with the aim of providing
the teachers with necessary guidance for planning practical activities,
engaging students effectively in the teaching learning process and to
promote students' practical skills in the discipline of chemistry.

This note describes the laboratory activities to understand the model of
ionic compound close packing, reduction-oxidation reaction of several metals ,
improve the double salt preparation and re-crystallization skills as the basic
for advance laboratory activities.
The text includes the facts and principles suitable for
beginners. The style and arrangement are clear, short sentences, brief paragraphs,
explanatory examples, lettered subdivisions, numbered sections and instructive
topical headings.
The book is mainly intended mainly for medical students, but
it contains the essentials for all students of Biology. This book is originally
