Synopsis

This proven, sophomore-level text introduces the basics of coordination, solid-state, and descriptive main-group chemistry in a uniquely accessible manner, featuring a andquot;less is moreandquot; approach. This approach allows you to present concepts and applications that you find particularly important and fascinating. Consistent with the andquot;less is moreandquot; philosophy, the book does not review topics covered in introductory courses, but rather moves directly into topics central to inorganic chemistry. Written in a conversational prose style that is enjoyable and easy to understand, this book presents not only the basic theories and methods of inorganic chemistry (in three self-standing sections), but also a great deal of the history and applications of the discipline. The new edition features new art, more diversified applications, and a new icon system. And to better help students understand how the seemingly disparate topics of the periodical table connect, the book offers revised coverage of the authorand's andquot;Network of Interconnected Ideasandquot; on new full color endpapers, as well as on a convenient tear-out card. The authorand's presentation does not assume prerequisites of organic or physical chemistry.
