Textbook of Chemistry: Inorganic Chemistry / Organic Chemistry ( PAPER – I & II )

This textbook has been specially designed for the B.Sc. 4th Semester Chemistry students of R.T. M. Nagpur University, Nagpur as per the NEP-2020 curriculum. It covers the core topics of Inorganic Chemistry (Paper I) and Organic Chemistry (Paper II) in a clear, concise, and systematic manner. The objective is to provide students with a solid conceptual foundation while developing an appreciation for the structural, theoretical, and practical aspects of chemistry. In the Inorganic Chemistry section, emphasis is placed on coordination chemistry, isomerism, bonding theories, and redox behavior, along with related applications. The Organic Chemistry section deals with reaction mechanisms, stereochemistry, and functional group transformations, helping students to connect theory with synthetic and analytical approaches. The subject matter has been presented in simple language supported by illustrative examples, well-labeled diagrams, and step-by-step derivations wherever necessary. Each chapter includes review questions to encourage self-assessment and deeper understanding. This book aims not only to serve as a textbook for university examinations but also as a reliable companion for students preparing for various competitive and higher-level chemistry examinations. We sincerely thank teachers, colleagues, and students whose constant feedback and encouragement have inspired the preparation of this volume. We welcome constructive suggestions for the improvement of future editions.
