Inorganic Chemistry

This concise textbook meets several objectives. First, the topics were chosen in the field of molecular chemistry (molecular structure, acid-base chemistry, coordination chemistry, ligand field theory, solid state chemistry, etc.). These topics form the basis of a colleges and universities.

The second objective has been stressing in a discussion of several topics. For example, the hard-soft interaction principle, discussion of the complexes, solubility, and predicting reaction products.

Third, the presentation is a clear and concise book. This book is an easy guide to a seminar in the form of a guide for self study.

Figures, tables, and end-of-chapter problems in the form of pedagogically rich, thematically balanced text for advanced undergraduate and graduate level students.

. Concise coverage maximizes student understanding and minimizing the inclusion of students.
. Discussion of the elements begins with the survey chapters focused on the main groups, while the later chapters cover the elements in the greater detail.
. Each chapter opens with narrative introductions and includes figures, tables, and end-of-chapter problem sets.
