Synopsis

Inorganic chemistry is an important subject, covering the chemistry of over 100 elements. This book conveys the important principles and facts in a way that is both understandable and enjoyable to undergraduates. Chemical facts are presented in a framework of interpretation. Thus, reactions and structures are presented within the context of broad chemical concepts and periodic trends. The material is reinforced with illustrations. Examples in the text help to illustrate important points, and end-of-chapter exercises and problems help to emphasize their importance.

About this title

Review:

Atkins has had phenomenal success as an author of chemistry textbooks...A professor of chemistry at Oxford University, Atkins's best-selling work is Physical Chemistry (1978), now in its sixth edition...But some indication of the incredible popularity of Physical Chemistry among students worldwide is that in the UK alone, first-years sales of new editions exceed the total number of students studying chemistry and closely allied disciplines at degree level./Kam Patel The Times Higher Education Supplement Friday 27th November 1998. -- Kam Patel The Times Higher Education Supplement Friday 27th November 1998

It is a very well produced and excellent account of the present state of inorganic chemistry suitable for undergraduate students./Aslib Book Guide, vol.64, no.8, August 1999. -- Aslib Book Guide, vol.64, no.8, August 1999
