Expert Review
Lines of Appreciations (Why should I buy this book?)
The concepts of elementary Thermodynamics, Reaction and Chemical Bonding theory are most appropriate in this book. The first four Chapters cover the following topics: Microscopic Properties of Matter, the origins of Atomic Theory and Chemical Arithmetic which helps in building the basics.
Chapters 5,6 & 7 covers the fundamental of Quantitative Chemistry.
Chapter 8 gives an introduction to Chemical Thermodynamics & Chapter 9 emphasizes on Reaction Mechanism, these chapters have been explained very well in this book focusing on the concept.
Room for improvements (Why should I keep away from this book?)
This book is not in accordance with JEE syllabus; effort is needed in sorting out the Chapters.
