Contents: Preface. 1. The origin of the elements. 2. Fundamental proof of static nuclear structure. 3. Nuclear reactions. 4. Nuclear models. 5. The environmental isotopes. 6. The nuclear fission power point. 7. Nuclear fusion. 8. The atomic nucleus. 9. Radioactivity and nuclear structure.

""Nuclear Chemistry" have been designed in such a way that it covers the entire syllabus of nuclear chemistry. Care has been taken to make the treatment of the subject simple and accessible to the average students. Book consists of nine chapters and begins with the origin of the elements; the book includes chapters on nuclear reactions, nuclear models, nuclear fusion, nuclear structure, radioactivity and the nuclear fission power plant.

This book proposes ways of building competence in the teacher of science. The entire book should be valuable to teachers concerned with chemistry in the schools and colleges. It is believed that the book in the present form will be found to be useful by the student community and the teaching fraternity alike." (jacket)
