Weller M.T., Overton T.L., Rouke J.P., Armstrong F.A. Inorganic Chemistry

7th Edition. — Oxford University Press, 2018. — 967 p. — ISBN: 978–0–19–252295–5.Inorganic Chemistry provides numerous learning features to help you master this wide-ranging subject. In addition, the text has been designed so that you can either work through the chapters chronologically, or dip in at an appropriate point in your studies. The book’s online resources provide support to you in your learning. The material in this book has been logically and systematically laid out in three distinct sections. Part 1, Foundations,
outlines the underlying principles of inorganic chemistry, which are built on in the subsequent two sections. Part 2, The elements and their compounds, divides the descriptive chemistry into ‘essentials’ and ‘details’, enabling you to easily draw out the key principles behind the reactions, before exploring them in greater depth. Part 3, Expanding our horizons, introduces you to exciting interdisciplinary research at the forefront of inorganic chemistry. The paragraphs below describe the learning features of the text and online resources in further detail.Foundations
