Inorganic Chemistry (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Inorganic Chemistry, Third Edition, emphasizes fundamental principles, including molecular structure, acid-base chemistry, coordination chemistry, ligand field theory and solid state chemistry. The book is organized into five major themes: structure, condensed phases, solution chemistry, main group and coordination compounds, each of which is explored with a balance of topics in theoretical and descriptive chemistry. Topics covered include the hard-soft interaction principle to explain hydrogen bond strengths, the strengths of acids and bases, and the stability of coordination compounds, etc. Each chapter opens with narrative introductions and includes figures, tables and end-of-chapter problem sets.

This new edition features updates throughout, with an emphasis on bioinorganic chemistry and a new chapter on nanostructures and graphene. In addition, more in-text worked-out examples encourage active learning and prepare students for exams. This text is ideal for advanced undergraduate and graduate-level students enrolled in the Inorganic Chemistry course.

• Includes physical chemistry to show the relevant principles from bonding theory and thermodynamics
• Emphasizes the chemical characteristics of main group elements and coordination chemistry
• Presents chapters that open with narrative introductions, figures, tables and end-of-chapter problem sets

Autorenporträt

James E. House is Emeritus Professor of Chemistry at Illinois State University, USA, and Scholar in Residence at Illinois Wesleyan University, USA. He received B.S. and M.A. degrees from Southern Illinois University and the Ph.D. from the University of Illinois, Urbana. In over 50 years of teaching, he taught numerous courses in inorganic and physical chemistry and several special topics courses. His research resulted in over 150 publications in professional journals, many dealing with reactions of solids. He has authored several books on kinetics, quantum mechanics, and inorganic chemistry for Elsevier. He is the Series Editor for Developments in Physical & Theoretical Chemistry for Elsevier and has also edited volumes in the series. House was elected as a Fellow of the Illinois State Academy of Science and he has done extensive consulting in the chemical industry. He was selected as Professor of the Year in 2011 by the student body at Illinois Wesleyan University and in 2018 he was inducted into the Southern Illinois University Chemistry Alumni Hall of Fame.
