Explains the basics of inorganic chemistry with a primary emphasis on facts; then uses the student's growing factual knowledge as a foundation for discussing the important principles of periodicity in structure, bonding and reactivity. New to this updated edition: improved treatment of atomic orbitals and properties such as electronegativity, novel approaches to the depiction of ionic structures, nomenclature for transition metal compounds, quantitative approaches to acid-base chemistry, Wade's rules for boranes and carboranes, the chemistry of major new classes of substances including fullerenes and silenes plus a chapter on the inorganic solid state.

F. ALBERT COTTON, PhD, is a professor in the Department of Chemistry at Texas A&M University. SIR GEOFFREY WILKINSON, PhD, was a professor in the Department of Chemistry at the Imperial College of Science, Technology, and Medicine in London, United Kingdom.
