Inorganic Chemistry

A brief, reader-friendly survey of inorganic chemistry. Uses a molecular-orbital approach to explain structure and reactivity. Features strong coverage of molecular symmetry/group theory. Includes special topics such as bioinorganic, environmental inorganic, organometallic, and solid-state chemistry. Applications show the relevance of core material to problems of contemporary interest. For anyone needing a brief introduction to inorganic chemistry. This highly readable book provides the essentials of Inorganic Chemistry with molecular symmetry as its foundation. Chapter topics include atomic structure, molecular orbitals, organometallic chemistry, simple bonding theory, symmetry and group theory, and more. For chemists and other professionals who want to update or improve their background in the field. Gary L. Miessler, Donald A. Tarr. Includes Bibliographical References And Index.
