Inorganic Chemistry: Seventh International Edition Paperback – 1 November 2018

Complete, contemporary, with rich learning support. The only text to take students from the fundamentals of inorganic chemistry, through descriptive chemistry, to the current applications of the theory they have learned. Leading you from the fundamental principles of inorganic chemistry right through to cutting-edge research at the forefront of the subject, Inorganic Chemistry is the ideal course companion for the duration of your degree. Reviews "The text is beautifully laid out and makes use of a variety of excellent pedagogical features. The writing style is excellent; the text has a mature and refined but highly readable tone." - Dr Simon Lancaster, University of East Anglia "An excellent in-depth textbook, clearly written, logically laid out with excellent diagrams and in text self-assessment questions. I would recommend it without reservation." - Craig Williams, University of Wolverhampton New to this edition The updated 'expanding our horizons' section expands upon the cutting edge research previously included, with an entirely new chapter on green chemistry structured around the 12 principles of green chemistry. Substantial updates to problem solving questions, additional self-tests and walk through explanations develop both factual-recall and problem-solving skills, enabling students to check their understanding of key concepts. Additional context boxes on recent innovations link theory to practice and help student's understand the real-world significance of inorganic chemistry. The text is augmented by a wider range of innovative online resources, with structures and figures from the book. Table of Contents Part 1: Foundations 1. Atomic structure 2.
