Ebook: Inorganic Chemistry

Three-part Organization:
PART 1: Foundations provides students with a review of chemistry, the basics of structure and bonding using both qualitative and quantitative explanations.
PART 2: Elements and their compounds marches through the periodic table and main group elements often referred to as descriptive chemistry.
PART 3: Frontiers features cutting-edge research. This is especially important for advanced courses in inorganic chemistry.

Student Friendly Pedagogy:
- Context boxes illustrate the diversity of inorganic chemistry applications to advanced materials, industrial processes, environmental chemistry, and everyday life.
- Key points summarize the main take-home message of each section.
- Further reading sections at the end of the chapter list sources for more information.
- Resource sections provide an extensive data section and information relating to group theory and spectroscopy.

Emphasis on Problem Solving Skills:
- Worked Examples followed by Self-tests provide practice with calculations and problems.
- End-of-chapter Exercises have students practice balancing equations, predicting and drawing structures, and manipulating data
- Tutorial Problems are more demanding, could have more than one right answer, and are often based on a research paper. These may be used for classroom discussion or an essay based assignment.
