The main aim of this book is to provide a textbook of inorganic chemistry covering the essential elements. It sets a framework into which the reader should be able to fit factual knowledge and extrapolate from this to predict unknown facts and is mainly intended for first or second degree chemistry students. The structure of the book is based on descriptive chemistry combined with some of the reasons why. It is divided into six sections on theoretical concepts and hydrogen, the s-block, the p-block, the d-block, the f-block and other topics. At the end of most chapters is a section on further reading and there are references to other work. An ELBS/LPBB edition is available

Part 1 Theoretical concepts and hydrogen: atomic structure and the periodic table; introduction to bonding; the ionic bond; the covalent bond; the metallic bond; general properties of the elements; the occurrence and isolation of the elements; coordination compounds; hydrogen and the hydrides. Part 2 The s-block elements: group I - the alkali metals; the chlor-alkali industry; group II - the alkaline earth elements. Part 3 The p-block elements: the group III elements; the group IV elements; the group V elements; group VI - the chalcogens; group VII - the halogens; group 0 - the noble gases. Part 4 The d-block elements: an introduction to the transition elements; the scandium group; the titanium group; the vanadium group; the chromium group; the manganese group; the iron group; the cobalt group; the nickel group; the copper group; the zinc group. Part 5 the f-block elements: the lanthanide series; the actinides. Part 6 Other topics: the atomic nucleus; spectra.
