Description

Explains the basics of inorganic chemistry with a primary emphasis on facts; then uses the student's growing factual knowledge as a foundation for discussing the important principles of periodicity in structure, bonding and reactivity. New to this updated edition: improved treatment of atomic orbitals and properties such as electronegativity, novel approaches to the depiction of ionic structures, nomenclature for transition metal compounds, quantitative approaches to acid-base chemistry, Wade's rules for boranes and carboranes, the chemistry of major new classes of substances including fullerenes and silenes plus a chapter on the inorganic solid state.

Description

This edition contains a new introductory section, a chapter on the organic solid state and three types of end-of-chapter exercises, one of which points students to professional literature. Important new material includes a better introduction to inorganic chemistry, improved treatment of atomic orbitals and properties such as electronegativity, new approaches to the depiction of ionic structures, nomenclature for transition metal compounds, quantitative approaches to acid base chemistry, expanded and unified treatment of the periodicity in structure and reactivity among the main group elements, Wade's rules for boranes and carboranes, the chemistry of new classes of substances such as fullerenes and silenes, and a new chapter on the inorganic solid state. Material on symmetry elements, operations and point groups has been put into an appendix.
