PREFACE

PREFACE

      The object of this book is to make the teaching of inorganic chemistry more effective. It enables the readers to view inorganic chemistry from a higher pedestal.

     The book deals with the very simple things in inorganic chemistry. But, the very depth of those simple things has been shown on a new scale in a simple style. 

     Things familiar to the readers are either avoided or given in very small doses.

      Care is taken, in every chapter, to provide something different in style or content. 

    Though due attention has been given to reduce the amount of factual materials, many pieces of useful information have been given.

     The problems given at the end of some chapters may be dubbed as subjective, lacking in discriminating power and even practicability. But, these problems aim at a broad, humane and liberal education and an open book system of examination.

     The method of presentation consists, generally, in stating certain facts, interpreting them theoretically, giving the solutions or throwing them open to the readers so that they would also cogitate and come to a conclusion.

     The highly innovative treatment would create ripples in the mind of the readers and kindle curiosity. It would stimulate independent and analytical thinking. To meet this end, most of the chapters are written in an unconventional way. A few that are conventional are quite complementary in nature. Hence, this book is an unconventional approach to inorganic chemistry.
