The Principles of Inorganic Chemistry, Second Edition predicates on an account of fundamental principles and their applications to the study of elements. The comparative chemistry of inorganic compounds is discussed with special reference to periodicity, structure, bonding and reactivity. Recent advances in important segments of chemical bonding, allotropes, coordination compounds, organometallic derivatives and kinetics have been taken into consideration. The text covers almost every component of inorganic chemistry that is included in the curriculum prescribed for professional degrees. It disseminates information in a clear, systematic and easy-to-learn format.
