In this edition, the primary facts of General Inorganic Chemistry are set down in a clear and accurate manner, organizing the facts of chemical structure, reactivity, bonding, atomic & molecular orbital approach, stability, solubility and trends of periodic families.

The purpose is to meet the needs of students who do not have the time or probably the inclination to pursue in depth, but who may also require explicit coverage of basic topics such as the electronic structure, periodic properties, chemical bonding and chemical reactivities.
