PREFACE
This Solutions Manual accompanies Inorganic Chemistry, Sixth Edition by Duward
Shriver, Mark Weller, Tina Overton, Jonathan Rourke, and Fraser Armstrong. Within its
covers, you will find the detailed solutions for all self-tests and end of chapter exercises.
New'^ to this edition of the Solutions Manual is the inclusion of guidelines for the selected
tutorial problems—^those problems for which the literature reference is not provided—for
the majority of chapters. Many solutions include figures specifically prepared for the
solution, and not found in the main text. As you master each chapter in Inorganic
Chemistiy, this manual will help you not only to confirm your answers and understanding
but also to expand the material covered in the textbook.
The Solutions Manual is a learning aid—its primary goal is to provide you with means to
ensure that your own understanding and your own answers are correct. If you see that
your solution differs from the one offered in the Solutions Manual, do not simply read
over the provided answer. Go baek to the main text, reexamine and reread the important
concepts required to solve that problem, and then, with this fresh insight, try solving the
same problem again. The self-tests are closely related to the examples that precede them.
Thus, if you had a problem with a self-test, read the preceding text and analyze the
worked example. The solutions to the end of chapter exercises direct you to the relevant
sections of the textbook, which you should reexamine if the exercise proves challenging
to you.
Inorganic chemistry is a beautiful, rich, and exciting discipline, but it also has its
challenges. The self-tests, exercises, and tutorial problems have been designed to help
you test your knowledge and meet the challenges of inorganic chemistry. The Solutions
Manual is here to help you on your way, provide guidance through the world of chemical
elements and their compounds and, together with the text it accompanies, take you to the
very frontiers of this world.
With a hope you will find this manual useful,
Alen Hadzovic
