Description
Book SynopsisThis accessible text provides a resumé of fundamental concepts in inorganic chemistry. The material is arranged alphabetically for ease of use, and the entries are longer and more complete than typical dictionary entries. This makes the book ideal as a companion to larger textbooks of inorganic chemistry.
Trade ReviewThe style of the book is excellent; it has many useful illustrations and the level is just right for first-year students. The content is not too mathematical ... I strongly recommend this book to all first-year undergraduate chemistry students. * Chemistry in Britain, February 1996 *
