Description:This textbook for inorganic chemistry conveys information both on basic principles and on substances in inorganic and metallo-organic chemistry. In its 102nd edition, a new work has arisen following extensive redesign of its predecessor and this is intended to assist in preparation for exams and to serve as a reference work. Additional areas of knowledge in chemistry and current chemical facts are documented in a large number of additional chapters and subchapters, plus new tables, figures and structural formulae. All chapters involving molecular, solid, metallo-organic, bio-inorganic, technical and nuclear chemistry of the 114 elements known to date have been brought up to the very latest state of scientific knowledge.
