Inorganic Chemistry

Seventh Edition

Mark Weller, Tina Overton, Jonathan Rourke and Fraser Armstrong

From the fundamental principles of inorganic chemistry to cutting-edge research at the forefront of the subject, this text provides a comprehensive introduction to the field.

Readership : Undergraduates at all stages of their Bachelors or Masters chemistry degree programs. The text is also a useful reference for postgraduates and researchers.

Reviews

  • "The text is beautifully laid out and makes use of a variety of excellent pedagogical features. The writing style is excellent; the text has a mature and refined but highly readable tone."
    --Dr. Simon Lancaster, University of East Anglia

  • "Outperforms any other modern inorganic text I have encountered."
    --Dr. Andrew Marr, Queen's University Belfast

  • "An excellent in-depth textbook, clearly written, logically laid out with excellent diagrams and in text self-assessment questions. I would recommend it without reservation."
    --Craig Williams, University of Wolverhampton

Special Features

  • Expert author team provides an authoritative introduction to the fundamentals of inorganic chemistry.
  • Teaches foundational principles from a physical perspective, giving students a solid foundation before covering descriptive chemistry.
  • Self-test questions and exercises throughout give students opportunities to practice applying key concepts.
  • Cross references help students make connections between topics.
  • Engaging pedagogy - including notes, illustrations, Context boxes, key points, worked examples, and tutorial problems - guides students through the material.
New to this Edition
  • New chapter on green chemistry structured around the 12 principles of the subject.
  • Additional Context boxes on recent innovations link theory to practice and help students understand the real-world significance of inorganic chemistry.
  • Substantial updates to problem solving questions - plus additional self-tests and walkthrough explanations - develop both factual-recall and problem-solving skills, enabling students to check their understanding of key concepts.
  • Refreshed artwork and 3D molecules plus reaction animations help students visualise the subject.
  • Revised coverage of foundational topics strengthens the introductory section.
