Introduction
Chemistry is an index of industrial development everywhere in the world. The frontiers of chemistry are very large, ranging from one extreme of natural products to those synthesized by man. The enormous strides made by man in the understanding, exploitation of nature and synthesis of new products all have their roots in chemistry and chemical technology. For economic sustenance and technological breakthroughs, this course is designed to go deeper into the concept of physical chemistry and its enormous benefits to mankind.
