Introduction to Coordination, Solid State and Descriptive Inorganic Chemistry

The evolving realm of inorganic chemistry; Part 1 Coordination chemistry : an introduction to coordination chemistry; structures of coordination compounds; bonding theories for coordination compounds; rates and mechanisms of reactions of coordination compounds; applications of coordination compounds. Part 2 Solid state chemistry : solid state structures; solid state energetics. Part 3 Descriptive chemistry of the representative elements: building a network of ideas to make sense of the periodic table; hydrogen and hydrides; oxygen, aqueous solutions, and the acid base character of oxides and hydroxides; group 1a - the alkali metals; group 2a - the alkaline earth metals; the group 3a elements; the group 4a elements; group 5a - the pnicogens; sulfur, selenium, tellurium, and polonium; group 7a, the halgens; group 8a, the noble gases.
