Description: The welcome
changes in GCE Advanced level syllabuses during the last few years have
prompted the writing of this new Inorganic Chemistry which is intended to
replace the book by Wood and Holliday. This new book, like its predecessor,
should also be of value in first-year tertiary level chemistry courses.
The new
syllabuses have made it possible to go much further in systematising and
explaining the facts of inorganic chemistry, and in this book the first four
chapters—- the periodic table; structure and bonding; energetics: and acids
and bases with oxidation and reduction—provide the necessary grounding for
the later chapters on the main groups, the first transition series and the
lanthanides and actinides. Although a similar overall treatment has been
adopted in all these later chapters, each particular group or series has been
treated distinctively, where appropriate, to emphasise special characteristics
or trends.
