Chemistry: Advanced Concepts and Applications

Chemistry is a fundamental science that is concerned with the composition of all compounds through a study of atoms, elements and molecules. It also studies their interactions with each other. The structure of compounds, their formation and reactions with other substances are widely studied in this domain. There are several specialized fields of chemistry that deal with properties and reactions of specific classes of compounds. Some of these are organic chemistry, inorganic chemistry, biochemistry, materials chemistry, etc. Chemistry studies matter in its solid, liquid and gaseous state. The primary industrial application of this field is converting raw materials into finished products. This book strives to provide a fair idea about chemistry and to help develop a better understanding of the latest advances within this discipline. It is compiled in such a manner that it will provide in-depth knowledge about the theory and applications of this field. It will serve as a valuable source of reference for students as well as researchers.
