Foundations of Inorganic Chemistry

Foundationsof Inorganic Chemistry by GaryWulfsberg is our newest entry into the field of Inorganic Chemistry textbooks,designed uniquely for a one-semester stand alone course, or to be used in a full year inorganic sequence. By coveringvirtually every topic in the test from the 2016 ACS Exams Institute, this bookwill prepare your students for success. The new book combines carefulpedagogy, clear writing, beautifully rendered two-color art, and solvedexamples, with a broad array of original, chapter-ending exercises. It assumes abackground in General Chemistry, but reviews key concepts, and also assumesenrollment in a Foundations of Organic Chemistry course. Symmetry and molecularorbital theory are introduced after the student has developed an understandingof fundamental trends in chemical properties and reactions across the periodictable, which allows MO theory to be more broadly applied in subsequent chapters. Use of thistext is expected to increase student enrollment, and build students'appreciation of the central role of inorganic chemistry in any allied field.KeyFeatures:Over 900 end-of-chapter exercises, half answered in the back of the book.Over 180 worked examples.Optional experiments & demos.Clearly cited connections to other areas in chemistry and chemical sciences.Chapter-opening biographical vignettes of noted scientists in Inorganic Chemistry.Optional General Chemistry review sections.Originally rendered two-color illustrations throughout.
