This book covers the synthesis, reactions, and properties of elements and inorganic compounds for courses in descriptive inorganic chemistry. It is suitable for the one-semester (ACS-recommended) course or as a supplement in general chemistry courses. Ideal for major and non-majors, the book incorporates rich graphs and diagrams to enhance the content and maximize learning. Includes expanded coverage of chemical bonding and enhanced treatment of Buckminster Fullerenes Incorporates new industrial applications matched to key topics in the text
This unique text is ingeniously organized by class of compound and by property or reaction type, not group by group or element by element (which requires students to memorize isolated facts).
This proven book introduces the basics of coordination, solid-state, and descriptive main-group chemistry in a uniquely accessible manner, featuring a less is more approach.
