Description
Viva Books Inorganic Chemistry 2016 by Gary Wulfsberg
Wulfsberg? S new Inorganic Chemistry is ideal for use as the primary textbook in the Junior- senior- and introductory graduate-level sequence of Inorganic Chemistry courses. With a clear descriptive approach that seamlessly integrates bioinorganic environmental geological and medicinal material into each br>Chapter there is much to like about this contemporary text. Also refreshing is an empirical approach to problems in which the text emphasizes observations before moving on to theoretical models. Because part I of the book explains chemical concepts and reactions using valence bond theory it may be used by students who have not had physical Chemistry; thus part I of the book is also recommended for use in a one-semester introductory course. Part II covers all traditional topics of an advanced Inorganic course for Chemistry majors including Symmetry molecular orbital theory transition metal Chemistry organometallic Chemistry Inorganic materials and mechanisms and Inorganic Chemistry. Table of Contents Part I: Inorganic ions and simple molecules in Chemistry and in our environment: Periodic trends in fundamental properties of Atoms and simple ions monoatomic ions and their acid-base reactivity polyatomic ions and their acid-base properties with applications to environmental Chemistry and analytical Chemistry Ionic solids and precipitation reactions of hydrated ions with applications to analytical Chemistry organic Chemistry and Water Chemistry trends in coordination equilibria with applications to biochemistry environmental Chemistry geochemistry and medical Chemistry principles of Oxidation-Reduction reactivity with applications to chemical safety environmental Chemistry and industrial Chemistry Thermo chemical analyses of reactivity trends introduction to transition metal complexes with applications to biochemistry part II: Inorganic molecules and materials: theory and applications: Symmetry with applications to art environmental Chemistry and Organic Chemistry molecular orbital theory with applications to Organic Chemistry and materials Science Organometallic Chemistry of the d-Block elements with applications to industrial Chemistry organic Chemistry biochemistry and Environmental Chemistry The elements and their physical properties with applications to materials Science oxides of the elements with applications to geochemistry environmental Chemistry and materials Science The Halides Nitrides and sulphides of the elements with applications to materials Science and biochemistry hydrides alkyls and aryls of the elements with applications to materials Science and Organic Chemistry Inorganic reaction mechanisms with applications to materials Science organic Chemistry environmental Chemistry and biochemistry advances topics: excited electronic state photochemistry and activated molecules with applications to materials Science atmospheric Chemistry and biochemistry appendix a: discovery laboratory experiments for part I appendix B: character tables index.
