Textbook in PDF format Chemistry is very vast subject that covers many aspects of our everyday experience. This textbook aims to create awareness and to understand certain essential aspects by the state curriculum framework (NCF) which was formulated in 2005, followed by the national curriculum framework (SCF) in 2010. Based on these two frameworks, reconstruction of the curriculum and prepartion of a revised syllabus has been done and designed now. Three major branches of chemistry, namely organic chemistry, inorganic chemistry and physical chemistry are presented in separate units in this book. Care is taken to have an integrated approach in deliberation of their contents. Chemistry is highly applied subject. In the unit "applied chemistry" along with the application of chemistry in life science and materials in everyday life, the upcoming applied branches, namely nanochemistry and green chemistry are also introduced. You can learn basic principles, understand facts and put them into practice by learning in the classroom and laboratory. The textbook is presented in a simple language with relevant diagrams, graphs, tables, photographs. This will help you to understand various terminology, concepts with more clarity. All the illustrations are in colour form. The new syllabus focuses on the basic principles, concepts, laws based on precise observations, their applications in everyday life and ability to solve different types of problems. The general teaching - learing objectives of the revised syllabus are further determined on the basis of the ‘Principle of constructivism’ i.e. selflearning.
