Inorganic Chemistry, 5/e (PIE-Paperback)

●Excellent, balanced coverage of core principles and theory enables students to get through this material in a one-semester course while special topic coverage, such as organometallic and solid-state chemistry, allows instructors flexibility in covering topics
●The strong presentation of atomic theory and emphasis on physical chemistry give students a firm understanding of the theoretical basis of inorganic chemistry
●Many problems at the end of each chapter, including some from the recent literature, allow instructors to choose the number and type of problems assigned
●Worked examples throughout demonstrate step-by-step how problems are solved and Exercises provide ample opportunity to practice the concepts learned
●Reflects topics of recent interest, such as:
- receptor-guest complexes (Chapter 6)
- quantum dots (Chapter 7)
- graphene and nanotubes (Chapter 8)
- metal-organic frameworks (Chapter 9)
- carbide and cumulene ligands (Chapter 13)
- olefin metathesis (Chapter 14)
- quintuple bonds (Chapter 15)
●Expanded sections on VSEPR and the ligand close packing model in Chapter 3 provide a wider variety of examples and group electronegativity has been added.
●The atomic weights of the elements provided in the periodic table inside the front cover include the most recent IUPAC recommendations. The values of physical constants inside the rear cover have been revised to use the most recent values cited on the NIST web site.
●Added coverage of oxidation-reduction reactions helps students understand main group and transition metal chemistry
●Web-based problems encourage the use of internet resources to solve problems and Problems using software for molecular orbital calculations allow students to calculate and observe shapes and energies of molecular orbitals

●優秀且平衡的核心原理和理論涵蓋範圍，使學生能夠在一個學期的課程中學習這些材料，同時特殊主題的涵蓋，如有機金屬和固態化學，讓教師在教學時有彈性選擇相關主題。
●強調原子理論並重視物理化學，使學生對無機化學的理論基礎有牢固的理解。
●每章末尾有許多問題，包括一些來自最近文獻的問題，讓教師可以選擇分配的問題數量和類型。
●示範解決問題的實例，以及練習題提供了充分的機會來練習所學的概念。
●反映了最近感興趣的主題，例如：
- 受體-客體複合物（第6章）
- 量子點（第7章）
- 石墨烯和奈米管（第8章）
- 金屬有機框架（第9章）
- 碳化物和烯烴配體（第13章）
- 烯烴交換反應（第14章）
- 五重鍵（第15章）
●第3章中關於VSEPR和配體緊密堆積模型的擴展部分提供了更多不同的例子，並增加了群體電負性。
●封面內的元素周期表提供了最新的IUPAC建議的元素原子量。封底內的物理常數值已經修訂為使用NIST網站上最新引用的值。
●增加了對氧化還原反應的涵蓋範圍，幫助學生理解主族和過渡金屬化學。
●基於網絡的問題鼓勵使用互聯網資源解決問題，並且使用分子軌道計算軟件的問題使學生能夠計算和觀察分子軌道的形狀和能量。
