Descriptive Inorganic Chemistry

Descriptive Inorganic Chemistry provides a thorough and very readable text appropriate for a general sophomore level descriptive course in inorganic chemistry taken by chemistry, biology, and earth science students. Inorganic chemistry is an enormously broad area that encompasses the chemistry of all elements but carbon. While the subject is historically taught at the junior/senior level and has been largely devoted to more theoretical topics (such as crystal field theory) this text focuses on the descriptive and introductory aspects of this fascinating subdiscipline. This text is aimed at sophomore/junior level undergraduates taking inorganic chemistry, and could be used as a supplement by students taking general chemistry.
