1. Inorganic Chemistry by Catherine E. Housecroft,
Alan G. Sharpe, Paperback: 832 pages, Publisher:
Prentice Hall
This book's fresh writing style, combined with
up-to-date coverage, numerous examples, worked
exercises, and real-life applications, provides a
critical introduction to modern inorganic chemistry. It
offers superior coverage of all key areas, including
descriptive chemistry, MO theory, bonding, and physical
inorganic chemistry. Chapter topics are presented in
logical order and include: basic concepts; nuclear
properties; an introduction to molecular symmetry;
bonding in polyatomic molecules; structures and
energetics of metallic and ionic solids; acids, bases,
and ions in aqueous solution; reduction and oxidation;
non-aqueous media; and hydrogen. Four special topic
chapters, chosen for their currency and interest,
conclude the book. For researchers seeking the latest
information in the field of inorganic chemistry.
2. Descriptive Inorganic Chemistry by Kathleen A.
House, James E. House, Hardcover: 515 pages, Publisher:
Brooks Cole
Provides a thorough and very readable text appropriate
for a general sophomore level descriptive course in
inorganic chemistry taken by chemistry, biology, and
earth science students. Inorganic chemistry is an
enormously broad area that encompasses the chemistry of
all elements but carbon. While the subject is
historically taught at the junior/senior level and has
been largely devoted to more theoretical topics (such as
crystal field theory) This textbook focuses on the
descriptive and introductory aspects of this fascinating
sub-discipline. This textbook is aimed at sophomore/junior
level undergraduates taking inorganic chemistry, and
could be used as a supplement by students taking general
chemistry.
3. Descriptive Inorganic, Coordination, and Solid
State Chemistry by Glen E. Rodgers, Hardcover: 560
pages, Publisher: Brooks Cole
This class-tested text introduces the basics of
coordination, solid state, and descriptive main-group
chemistry in a uniquely accessible manner, featuring a
"less is better than more" approach. The approach offers
instructors the opportunity to build upon and present
concepts and applications that they find particularly
important and fascinating. Consistent with the
philosophy that less is better than more, this book does
not contain traditional chapters reviewing or expanding
on atomic and molecular structure and other topics
previously and adequately developed in most introductory
courses. As a result, the book moves directly into the
presentation of topics central to inorganic chemistry.
Written for students, with a conversational prose that
is enjoyable and easy to understand, this book presents
not only the basic theories and methods of inorganic
chemistry (in three self-standing sections), but also a
great deal of the history and the applications of the
discipline. The author's presentation does not assume
prerequisites of organic or physical chemistry.4.
Inorganic Chemistry: Principles of Structure and
Reactivity (4th Edition) by James E. Huheey, Ellen A.
Keiter, Richard L. Keiter, Hardcover: 964 pages,
Publisher: Benjamin Cummings
This book, designed for a two-semester class, is a
complete and thorough guide to undergraduate students;
it explains important subjects which are left out in
other works. The chapters on bonding, solid state, and
coordination are well written and have good information
that can be well understood by chemistry students. The
authors provide references for further reading.
5. Principles of Descriptive Inorganic Chemistry by
Gary Wulfsberg, Hardcover: 461 pages, Publisher:
University Science Books
This is the only text currently available organized by
class of compound and by property or reaction type, not
group by group or element by element, which requires
students to memorize isolated facts.
