Inorganic Chemistry

Now in its fourth edition; Housecroft & Sharpe's Inorganic Chemistryis a well-respected and leading international textbook. Inorganic Chemistryis primarily designed to be a student text but is well-received as a reference book for those working in the field of inorganic chemistry. Inorganic Chemistry provides both teachers and students with a clearly written and beautifully-illustrated introduction to core physical-inorganic principles. It introduces the descriptive chemistry of the elements and the role played by inorganic chemistry in our everyday lives. Chapters on catalysis and industrial processes; bioinorganic chemistry; and inorganic materials and nanotechnology include many of the latest advances in these fields. There is a new chapter on experimental techniques; and the large number of worked examples; exercises and end-of-chapter problems illustrate a broad range of their applications in inorganic chemistry. The striking full-colour design includes a wealth of three-dimensional molecular and protein structures and photographs; enticing students to delve into the world of inorganic chemistry. Throughout its four editions; Inorganic Chemistry has successfully given both teachers and students the tools with which to approach the subject confidently and with enjoyment. Environmental issues linked to inorganic chemistry; topics relating inorganic chemistry to biology and medicine; and the applications of inorganic chemicals in the laboratory; industry and daily life form the basis of a wide range of topic boxes in the book; helping students to appreciate the importance and relevance of the subject.   A strong pedagogic approach is at the heart of Inorganic Chemistry . While worked examples take students through calculations and exercises step by step; the sets of self-study exercises and end-of-chapter problems  reinforce learning and  develop subject knowledge and skills. The end-of-chapter problems include sets of 'overview problems'; and problems entitled 'inorganic chemistry matters' which use everyday material to illustrate the relevance of the material in each chapter. Definitions panels and end-of-chapter checklists offer students excellent revision aids. Further reading suggestions; from topical articles to recent literature papers; encourage students to explore topics in more depth. Buy now the item at ONLY: 149.95
