Description
Wulfsberg&#;s new Inorganic
Chemistry is ideal for use as the primary textbook in the
junior-, senior- and introductory graduate-level sequence of
inorganic chemistry courses. With a clear descriptive approach
that seamlessly integrates bioinorganic, environmental,
geological, and medicinal material into each chapter, there is
much to like about this contemporary text. Also refreshing is an
empirical approach to problems in which the text emphasizes
observations before moving on to theoretical models. Because Part
I of the book explains chemical concepts and reactions using
Valence Bond theory, it may be used by students who have not had
physical chemistry; thus Part I of the book is also recommended
for use in a one-semester introductory course. Part II covers all
traditional topics of an advanced inorganic course for chemistry
majors including symmetry, molecular orbital theory, transition
metal chemistry, organometallic chemistry, inorganic materials
and mechanisms, and bioinorganic chemistry.
Worked examples and solutions
in each chapter combine with chapter-ending study objectives,
exercises per chapter, and experiments for discovery-based
learning to make this, in the words of one reviewer, &#;an
outstanding new text.&#; This remarkable book even appears as set dressing in
Universal Pictures motion picture, The Incredible Hulk with Nick Nolte.
