During the 20th century, the scope of physical chemistry broadened considerably, to the extent that at present physical chemistry is considered to encompass all aspects of physical equilibrium, structure and change, including increasingly precise measurement of chemical systems and the proposal of models and theories to adequately explain these observations.
Bringing under one roof a thoroughly encylopaedic knowledge of the subject the present book has been written keeping in mind the needs of graduate and post-graduate students in chemistry for a comprehensive text. With necessary illustrations and diagrams amply provided for, the lucid writing and precise explanations should prove to be of immense help to all. We hope that the book satisfies all in this regard. |
