With its updates to quickly changing content areas, a strengthened visual presentation and the addition of new co-author Paul Fischer, the new edition of this highly readable text is more educational and valuable than ever. Inorganic Chemistry, 5/e delivers the essentials of Inorganic Chemistry at just the right level for today’s classroom ― neither too high (for novice readers) nor too low (for advanced readers). Strong coverage of atomic theory and an emphasis on physical chemistry provide a firm understanding of the theoretical basis of inorganic chemistry, while a reorganized presentation of molecular orbital and group theory highlights key principles more clearly.
Pretty useless textbook for how my professor assigned it. For a descriptive, undergraduate-level inorganic chemistry....this isn’t the book that needs used. This is far more hands on and easily graduate-level. Can’t attest to the text any further than that since it couldn’t be used as an adequate resource for my class.
UBC, Chem 202 - Inorganic Chemistry. Not a required textbook (was for a more advanced inorganic chem course). Not an easy read, usually took a while and repetitive reading to understand the concepts explained, but did help me to better grasp the material taught in class - probably what enabled me to pass this course...
This is a classic textbook that is an essential reading for all chemistry and chemical engineering majors. Well written and illustrated, this is the best introduction to the wonderful world of inorganic chemistry.
This book was okay. When I was really confused, it was no help. For the things I sort of understood from lecture, it was useful. I loved the class but I felt like the book came up short in meeting my requirements.
