Solutions Guide To Accompany Inorganic Chemistry A Unified Approach

This is one of the few books available that uses unifying theoretical concepts to present inorganic chemistry at the advanced undergraduate and graduate levels--most texts are organized around the periodic table, while this one is structured after bonding models, structure types, and reaction patterns. But the real strength of Porterfield's Second Edition is its clear presentation of ample background description, especially in recent areas of development such as cluster molecules, industrial catalysis, and bio-inorganic chemistry. This information will enable students to understand most current journals, empowering them to stay abreast of the latest advances in the field. Specific improvements of the Second Edition include new chapters on materials-science applications and bioinorganic chemistry, an extended discussion of transition-metal applications (including cuprate superconductors), and extended Tanabe-Sugano diagrams.

Coordination chemistry is the study of compounds formed between metal ions and other neutral or negatively charged molecules. This book offers a series of investigative inorganic laboratories approached through systematic coordination chemistry. It not only highlights the key fundamental components of the coordination chemistry field, it also exemplifies the historical development of concepts in the field. In order to graduate as a chemistry major that fills the requirements of the American Chemical Society, a student needs to take a laboratory course in inorganic chemistry. Most professors who teach and inorganic chemistry laboratory prefer to emphasize coordination chemistry rather than attempting to cover all aspects of inorganic chemistry; because it keeps the students focused on a cohesive part of inorganic chemistry, which has applications in medicine, the environment, molecular biology, organic synthesis, and inorganic materials.

This manual contains the author's detailed solutions to the self-tests and exercises contained in the third edition of the textbook Inorganic Chemistry by Shriver and Atkins. The solutions include nearly all of the figures and drawings asked for in the exercises. They also include many other figures, to help the visualization of concepts. A new feature in the guide is a ten-question Quiz at the end of each chapter.

The Solutions Manual contains complete solutions to the Self-tests and end-of-chapter exercises.

The Solutions manual to accompany Elements of Physical Chemistry 4e contains full worked solutions to all end-of-chapter exercises featured in the book.
