Foundations
of Inorganic Chemistry by Gary
Wulfsberg is our newest entry into the field of Inorganic Chemistry textbooks,
designed uniquely for a one-semester stand alone course, or to be used in a full year inorganic sequence. By covering
virtually every topic in the test from the 2016 ACS Exams Institute, this book
will prepare your students for success. The new book combines careful
pedagogy, clear writing, beautifully rendered two-color art, and solved
examples, with a broad array of original, chapter-ending exercises. It assumes a
background in General Chemistry, but reviews key concepts, and also assumes
enrollment in a Foundations of Organic Chemistry course. Symmetry and molecular
orbital theory are introduced after the student has developed an understanding
of fundamental trends in chemical properties and reactions across the periodic
table, which allows MO theory to be more broadly applied in subsequent chapters.


Use of this
text is expected to increase student enrollment, and build students'
appreciation of the central role of inorganic chemistry in any allied field.
