inorganic chemistry in our everyday lives. The stunning full-colour
design has been further enhanced for this edition with an abundance of
three-dimensional molecular and protein structures and photographs,
bringing to life the world of inorganic chemistry.
Updated with the latest research, this edition also includes coverage
relating to the extended periodic table and new approaches to estimating
lattice energies and to bonding classifications of organometallic
compounds.
A carefully developed pedagogical approach guides the reader through
this fascinating subject with features designed to encourage thought and
