Descriptive Inorganic, Coordination, and Solid State Chemistry

Succeed in the course with this easy-to-understand text. The book introduces the basics of coordination, solid state, and descriptive main-group chemistry in a uniquely accessible manner, featuring a &quote;less is more&quote; approach. Rather than reviewing material already covered in your introductory course, the book moves directly into topics central to inorganic chemistry. Written in a conversational 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. To better help you understand how seemingly disparate topics connect, full color coverage of the &quote;Network of Interconnected Ideas for Understanding the Periodic Table&quote; appears on the endpapers. In addition, the book includes a new pull-out card of the complete network for easy reference.
