INORGANIC CHEMISTRY: A MODERN TREATISE

This is an advanced treatise in modern Inorganic Chemistry, dealing with the theoretical principals and chemistries of the elements and their principal compounds, with information on some of the most recent significant development, as outlined in the preface.

        The book is therefore not a mere syllabus oriented textbook and is meant to be of use of those interested in having a fairly comprehensive knowledge in the subject.

        Contents: Preface * A Brief History on the Origin and Progress of Inorganic Chemistry * Chemical Periodicity and Periodic Classification of Elements * The Atomic Nucleus and Nuclear Reactions * Occurrence and Isolation of Elements * Hydrogen * The Alkali Metals (Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs and Fr) * The Elements Be, Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba, and Ra * The Elements B, Al, Ga, In, Tl * The Elements C, Si, Ge, Sn, Pb * The Elements N, P, As, Sb, Bi * The Elements O, S, Se, Te and Po * The Halogen elements ( F, Cl, Br, I and At) * The Noble Gases ( He, Ne, Ar, Kr, Xe and Rn) * The Elements Sc, Y, La, Lanthanides and Actinides * The f-Block Elements, lanthanides and Actinides * The d-Block Elements Ti, Zr, Hf * The d-Block Elements V, Nb, Ta * The d-Block Elements Cr, Mo, W * The d-Block Elements Mn, Tc, Re * The d-Block Elements Fe, Co, Ni * the Platinum Group Metals (Ru, Rh, Pd, Os, Ir, Pt) * The Coinage Metals (Cu, Ag, Au) * The Elements Zn, Cd, Hg * Structures of Solids * Chemical Reactions: Rate and Equilibrium * Acids and Bases * Oxidation and Reduction * Non-aqueous Solvents * Appendices * Subject Index.
