Physical Chemistry for the Life Sciences, 2nd Edition by Peter Atkins and Julio de Paula. Another good one is: Introduction to Molecular Thermodynamics (2008)

by Robert M. Hanson and Susan Green. Both books are great

Jitendriya Panigrahi

Also u can prefer Lehninger (Principles of Biochemistry) 5th edition

Daniel A. Medina

I studied with the book "Physical Chemistry" from the author Gilbert W. Castellan:

Here is a preview online version:
