Inorganic Chemistry - II

This book is prepared as per the syllabus of APJ Abdul Kalam Technological University for the third semester of Electrical and Electronics Engineering of the B.Tech program. The purpose of the book is to present the course contents to the students in a precise and simple manner. The majority of the topics in the book were originally prepared during my teaching days as a middle-level faculty. The original text was modified many times after discussions and due deliberations with students and teachers so as to improve its utility. During the preparation, I have used the reference books and textbooks suggested in the syllabus and also many other publications. Though the syllabus is vast, the content of the book is made brief and simple, so that the students can readily use this book as an easy learning material.
