PREFACE
The preface writing has always been a wonderful feeling that cannot be expressed in words as it
relates you to your audience through your work. I conceived the idea of writing a new advanced-level textbook
in physical chemistry during my Ph.D. pursuit when I saw post-graduate chemistry students who were tired in
search of the syllabus topics because of their ill-resourced university or college library. I also decided to write
the textbooks of inorganic and organic chemistry because I think that someone who wants to teach or text one
stream must have the core conceptual understanding of all the three streams of chemical science otherwise one
would not be able to connect and explain the interdisciplinary topics in a comprehensive manner.
Out of the series of three textbooks, the present book, entitled "A Textbook of Physical Chemistry –
Volume 1", is the first installment of "A Textbook of Physical Chemistry", which is a four -volume set in all.
All the students and teachers are advised to read and consult all the four volumes in a subsequent pattern for a
more efficient and thorough understanding of the subject of physical chemistry.
I also celebrate this opportunity for expressing the bottom-hearted gratitude towards the people who
supported me at all stages of my work. First of all, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to my doctoral
supervisors, Prof. S.P. Khatkar and Prof. V.B. Taxak for their continuous support and guidance from day one.
Then I would like to record appreciation to my lovely sister, Jyoti Dalal, for her unconditional love, support
and for being the guiding light when the life threw me in the darkest of corners. I am very much thankful to
my beautiful wife, Anita Sangwan, who always stands shoulder to shoulder with me in my good and bad times.
I especially want to thank my brother Sandeep Dalal for his positive criticism, encouragement, motivation and
truly selfless support. A special thanks to my dearest sister Garima Sheoran for her love, care, and all-time
encouragement. I also wish to thank my entire family, friends, and teachers for providing a loving environment
for me.
Lastly, and most importantly, I wish to thank my mother, Darshana Devi, who bore me, raised me,
supported me, taught me, and loved me.
