This chemistry book is a result of being aware and so much concerned to the problem. It is the result of having strong desire to find appropriate solution to the problem. My hope is that, this book will be part of the solution for the problem especially for the chemistry subject. This is sweet news to hear because the book discuss intensively all matters related to inorganic chemistry as required by the new syllabus.
Organisation
The book is organised into five parts; part 1 up to 5. Each part discuss intensively particular topic in the syllabus: part 1 discusses introduction to inorganic chemistry, part 2 discusses periodic trend in physical and chemical properties and part 3 discusses extraction of metals. Also part 4 discusses chemistry of selected compounds of metals, part and finally part 5 discusses transition elements and complexes.
Each part is divided into number of chapters which discuss several matters in accordance to the new syllabus.
At the end of each chapter there is a practice exercise for reviewing some important concepts covered in the particular chapter. Both students and teachers will find these exercises very useful.
At the end of each part there is examination questions which are very useful to students who wish to examine themselves on their understanding capacity of matters discussed in respective part. The questions cover knowledge of all sub-topics discussed in the respective part; therefore students are advised to attempt answering them after completing the study of all sub- topics in the chapters of the respective part. Also teachers will find questions useful in examining students' ability on the particular topic.
Near the end of the book, there are solutions for examination questions for providing a guide to students on answering questions relating to different topics of physical chemistry. Students are recommended to check these solutions after an attempt of answering questions through writing down and not just through mind imagination of answers. Solutions for part three are deliberately not given because according to the nature of the topic, their solutions are very direct to the text.
I hope both teachers and students will find this book helpful and interesting. Acknowledgements
