In this post, we will see the book Textbook Of General Chemistry by B. Nekrasov.

About the book

This book is a text-book of general chemistry for college students specialising in chemistry. It will also be useful as an aid to students of non-chemical colleges and to persons studying chemistry by way of self-education.

The book was translated from Russian by J. Vegoda and was edited by D. Sobolev. The book was published in 1969 by Peace Publishers.
