Synopsis

In this thorough revision of a text on inorganic chemistry, the authors have again used a twin-track strategy designed to enable students to gain an adequate grasp of the subject without being overwhelmed by the amount of material. The book provides a broad overview of the subject, offering a framework on which to build deeper understanding. It also looks at selected areas in more depth with the aim of providing the student with the confidence to approach other topics at the same level of detail. A systematic survey of the chemistry of the elements follows the periodic-table arrangement and concentrates on compounds with oxygen and the halogens. These sections have been updated and expanded to reflect current understanding and theories. There are new sections on fullerenes and related species, co-ordinated dihydrogen and actinide organometallic chemistry, and an expanded section on cluster compounds. The survey of silicate structures has been expanded and is now treated as a special topic to reflect the industrial importance of zeolites. Yet another new chapter covers selected topics in biological and environmental inorganic chemistry.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This popular and comprehensive textbook provides all the basic information on inorganic chemistry that undergraduates need to know. For this sixth edition, the contents have undergone a complete revision to reflect progress in areas of research, new and modified techniques and their applications, and use of software packages.

Introduction to Modern Inorganic Chemistry begins by explaining the electronic structure and properties of atoms, then describes the principles of bonding in diatomic and polyatomic covalent molecules, the solid state, and solution chemistry. Further on in the book, the general properties of the periodic table are studied along with specific elements and groups such as hydrogen, the 's' elements, the lanthanides, the actinides, the transition metals, and the "p" block. Simple and advanced examples are mixed throughout to increase the depth of students' understanding.

This edition has a completely new layout including revised artwork, case study boxes, technical notes, and examples. All of the problems have been revised and extended and include notes to assist with approaches and solutions. It is an excellent tool to help students see how inorganic chemistry applies to medicine, the environment, and biological topics.
