1. Introduction to Solid State Chemistry Solid state chemistry is the branch of chemistry that deals with the structure, properties, preparation and applications of solid materials. In typical school textbooks, the chapter mainly focuses on crystal structures, unit cells, packing efficiency, defects, and electrical & magnetic properties. But at the postgraduate level, the subject expands

1. Introduction to Chemical Kinetics This is a branch of physical chemistry that studies the speed or rate at which chemical reactions take place and the factors that can change this speed. It also explains how a reaction happens; the step-by-step path is called the mechanism. Importance of Chemical Kinetics (PGT interview points) 2. Basic
