Tóm tắt

This textbook provides a current and comprehensive coverage of all major topics of inorganic chemistry in a single source. It includes an analysis of the sources and preparations of the elements, their common compounds, their aqueous speciation, and their applications, while it also discusses reaction pathways and mechanisms. It includes up-to-date material, supported by over 4000 references to the original literature and to recent reviews that provide more detailed information. The material is accompanied by over 250 figures and three-dimensional representations, based on published structural details. Each chapter has worked examples and problems, with multiple inserts describing topical issues related to the material in the text. The textbook provides the instructor with a wide range of areas that can be selected to meet the background and interests of the students, while selected chapters are relevant to courses on more specialized topics, such as inorganic materials, bioinorganic chemistry, and nanomaterials. The intended readers are students, lecturers, and researchers who need a source for the current status of the area. -- Provided by publisher.
