Chemistry: Concepts and Applications - Bog

Chemistry is the study of the structure, behavior, properties and changes undergone by chemical compounds during a reaction with other compounds. It is focused on the creation of such compounds by understanding the interactions between atoms and molecules through chemical bonds. Chemistry is sub-divided into various branches such as materials chemistry, inorganic chemistry, nuclear chemistry, analytical chemistry, organic chemistry, theoretical chemistry, etc. The study of phases, energy, bonding, chemical reactions, equilibrium, ions and salts, and acidity and basicity are fundamental to the study of chemistry. This field facilitates the understanding of other basic and applied sciences such as botany, geology, astrophysics, forensics and pharmacology, besides many others. There has been rapid progress in this field and its applications are finding their way across multiple industries. This book attempts to understand the multiple branches that fall under the discipline of chemistry and how such concepts have practical applications. Scientists and students actively engaged in this field will find this book full of crucial and unexplored concepts.
