About the Book

A New Approach to ICSE Chemistry for Class 10 by V.K. Sally is a comprehensive textbook designed strictly in accordance with the latest syllabus prescribed by the Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations (CISCE), New Delhi.

The book is systematically divided into five well-structured parts that guide students from basic concepts to advanced applications in Chemistry. Starting with The Language of Chemistry, Chemical Changes and Reactions, and Water, students are introduced to the diversity of matter and its transformations. The next section on Atomic Structure, Chemical Bonding, and The Periodic Table explains the unifying rules of chemical interactions. Further, detailed chapters on Hydrogen and Gas Laws provide insight into the properties of elements and gases under varying conditions. A section on Atmospheric Pollution addresses environmental concerns, while the final part on Practical Chemistry ensures hands-on laboratory learning and application.

The book emphasizes clarity and simplicity with highlighted definitions, easy-to-understand diagrams, and numerous chemical reactions explained through experimental observations. A unique and logical approach to balancing chemical equations has been introduced in The Language of Chemistry. To strengthen exam preparation, each chapter is supported by Competency-Focused Practice Questions (CFPQ) and a Question Bank with solutions accessible via QR Codes. Additionally, the book includes a Periodic Table with correct nomenclature, a Solved Specimen Paper, and five Model Test Papers (Unsolved) for practice, provided through QR Codes.

With its blend of conceptual clarity, practical exposure, and exam-oriented preparation, this book is an excellent resource for ICSE Class 10 students and a reliable teaching tool for teachers.
