The presentation of topics is made with an effort to be clear and concise so that the book is portable and user friendly. The text emphasizes fundamental principlesincluding molecular structure  acid-base chemistry  coordination chemistry  ligand field theory  and solid state chemistry. It is organized into five major themes (structure  condensed phases  solution chemistry  main group and coordination compounds) with several chapters in each. There is a logical progression from atomic structure to molecular structure to properties of substances based on molecular structures  to behavior of solids  etc. The textbook contains a balance of topics in theoretical and descriptive chemistry. For example  the hard-soft interaction principle is used to explain hydrogen bond strengths  strengths of acids and bases  stability of coordination compounds  etc. Discussion of elements begins with survey chapters focused on the main groups  while later chapters cover the elements in greater detail. Each chapter opens with narrative introductions and includes figures  tables  and end-of-chapter problem sets. This new edition features new and improved illustrations  including symmetry and 3D molecular orbital representations; expanded coverage of spectroscopy  instrumental techniques  organometallic and bio-inorganic chemistry; and more in-text worked-out examples to encourage active learning and to prepare students for their exams. This text is ideal for advanced undergraduate and graduate-level students enrolled in the Inorganic Chemistry course. This core course serves Chemistry and other science majors. The book may also be suitable for biochemistry  medicinal chemistry  and other professionals who wish to learn more about this subject area. Concise coverage maximizes student understanding and minimizes the inclusion of details students are unlikely to use Discussion of elements begins with survey chapters focused on the main groups  while later chapters cover the elements in greater detail Each chapter opens with narrative introductions and includes figures  tables  and end-of-chapter problem sets\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45665894137909,"sku":"ByrdShop_0123851106","price":134.7,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780123851109.jpg?v=1782413244","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/inorganic-chemistry-9780123851109","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
