Company, 41 Madison Avenue, New York, NY 10010 www.whfreeman.com www.elsolucionario.net Preface Our aim in the fifth edition of Shriver and Atkins’ Inorganic Chemistry is to provide a comprehensive and contemporary introduction to the diverse and fascinating discipline of inorganic chemistry Inorganic chemistry deals with the properties of all of the elements in the periodic table These elements range from highly reactive metals, such as sodium, to noble metals, such as gold The nonmetals include solids, liquids, and gases, and range from the aggressive oxidizing agent fluorine to unreactive gases such as helium Although this variety and diversity are features of any study of inorganic chemistry, there are underlying patterns and trends which enrich and enhance our understanding of the discipline These trends in reactivity, structure, and properties of the elements and their compounds provide an insight into the landscape of the periodic table and provide a foundation on which to build understanding Inorganic compounds vary from ionic solids, which can be described by simple applications of classical electrostatics, to covalent compounds and metals, which are best described by models that have their origin in quantum mechanics We can rationalize and interpret the properties of most inorganic compounds by using qualitative models that are based on quantum mechanics, such as atomic orbitals and their use to form molecular orbitals The text builds on similar qualitative bonding models that should already be familiar from introductory chemistry courses Although qualitative models of bonding and reactivity clarify and systematize the subject, inorganic chemistry is essentially an experimental subject New areas of inorganic chemistry are constantly being explored and new and often unusual inorganic compounds are constantly being synthesized and identified These new inorganic syntheses continue to enrich the field with compounds that give us new perspectives on structure, bonding, and reactivity Inorganic chemistry has considerable impact on our everyday lives and on other scientific disciplines The chemical industry is strongly dependent on it Inorganic chemistry is essential to the formulation and improvement of modern materials such as catalysts, semiconductors, optical devices, superconductors, and advanced ceramic materials The environmental and biological impact of inorganic chemistry is also huge Current topics in industrial, biological, and environmental chemistry are mentioned throughout the book and are developed more thoroughly in later chapters In this new edition we have refined the presentation, organization, and visual representation All of the book has been revised, much has been rewritten and there is some completely new material We have written with the student in mind, and we have added new pedagogical features and have enhanced others The topics in Part 1, Foundations, have been revised to make them more accessible to the reader with more qualitative explanation accompanying the more mathematical treatments Part 2, The elements and their compounds, has been reorganized The section starts with a new chapter which draws together periodic trends and cross references forward to the descriptive chapters The remaining chapters start with hydrogen and proceed across the periodic table from the s-block metals, across the p block, and finishing with the d- and f-block elements Most of these chapters have been reorganized into two sections: Essentials describes the essential chemistry of the elements and the Detail provides a more thorough account The chemical properties of each group of elements and their compounds are enriched with descriptions of current applications The patterns and trends that emerge are rationalized by drawing on the principles introduced in Part Part 3, Frontiers, takes the reader to the edge of knowledge in several areas of current research These chapters explore specialized subjects that are of importance to industry, materials, and biology, and include catalysis, nanomaterials, and bioinorganic chemistry All the illustrations and the marginal structures—nearly 1500 in all—have been redrawn and are presented in full colour We have used colour systematically rather than just for decoration, and have ensured that it serves a pedagogical purpose viii Preface www.elsolucionario.net We are confident that this text will serve the undergraduate chemist well It provides the theoretical building blocks with which to build knowledge and understanding of inorganic chemistry It should help to rationalize the sometimes bewildering diversity of descriptive chemistry It also takes the student to the forefront of the discipline and should therefore complement many courses taken in the later stages of a programme Peter Atkins Tina Overton Jonathan Rourke Mark Weller Fraser Armstrong Mike Hagerman March 2009 810 www.elsolucionario.net Resource
