We are happy to place the first edition of CHE 201-T (MJ) Physical
Chemistry – I, under faculty of Science and Technology, Savitribai Phule
Pune University Pune, according to new syllabus implemented from year
2025-2026, as per National Education Policy – 2020.
This book is written as per New syllabus introduced from 2025-26. We
have tried to explain the concepts and information in easy language so that
students could understand it easily. We feel that the information is presented
in a simple form for the better understanding of students.
This book includes explanation for each point, numbers of illustrative
examples are given and exercise is given at the end of each topic for the benefit
of students. In our view the book will fulfill the expectations of students and
teachers.
We express our sincere thanks to our colleagues and persons who have
helped us directly or indirectly during writing this book.
We authors are especially thankful to our publisher, Prashant publications,
Jalgaon in supporting our activity and transferring it in attractive form. We
welcome and appreciate the precise comments and suggestions from the
readers for the improvement of this book.
