Build a strong foundation in physical-inorganic chemistry with this internationally renowned text.

Inorganic Chemistry, 5th edition, Global edition, by Catherine E Housecroft and Alan G Sharpe, is a widely respected introduction to the physical-inorganic principles of chemistry. With new research, this edition introduces you to the descriptive chemistry of the elements and the role played by inorganic chemistry in our everyday lives. Its carefully developed pedagogical approach helps you engage with topics using striking visuals to consolidate your understanding. The text covers topics such as molecular symmetry and bonding in polyatomic molecules, teaching you to apply your learnt knowledge to the real world.

This updated edition includes:

  • The most recent advances in inorganic chemistry.
  • An extended periodic table of the elements.
  • Updated chapters to include new ‘super-heavy' elements.
  • Three-dimensional molecular structures which bring the world of inorganic chemistry to life.

With an array of features to support your learning, Inorganic Chemistry serves as a comprehensive introduction perfect for chemistry students.

This title comes with a Companion Website.
