Inorganic ChemistryAfter reviewing background information in the first two chapters, Bowser discusses the bonding models of greatest importance to inorganic chemistry, the primary types of chemical reactions (with examples from both aqueous and non-aqueous solutions), the main group elements (organized to demonstrate interrelationships throughout the periodic table), the transition metals (focusing on the structures, bonding, and reactions of both classical and organometallic complexes), and finally a variety of special topics. Reflecting the current state of the discipline, the text includes many examples from and references to the recent literature. |
