Foundations in Experimental Chemistry

<div><!--block-->Generally laboratory experiments need to fulfil certain criterions, like amount of time required, relevance to a course, understanding at a level, available materials; experiments should be hazard free, and finally motivating. The basic lacuna while performing experiments is the limited way of projecting the objectives, which makes them less attractive. Thus the topics of experiments are sorted out with motivating objectives in this practical oriented textbook.<br><strong>Contents<br></strong>1. Experiments with Small Molecules 2. Basis of Experimental Chemistry 3. Experimental Coordination Chemistry 4. Experiments with Organic Compounds 5. Contemporary Experiments of Material Chemistry<br><strong>About the Author<br></strong>Jubaraj Bikash Baruah, M.Sc., PhD (IISc.,Bangalore) is presently Professor of Chemistry in Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati.
