Understanding Inorganic Chemistry: The Underlying Physical Principles (Ellis Horwood Series in Inorganic Chemistry)

Barrett, Jack

Science & Math

Ellis Horwood, Ltd.

Describes the major theories which account for the observed properties of the elements and their compounds. The author makes a conscious effort not to concentrate on the descriptive aspects and omit the theoretical basis.

Structure and Bonding covers introductory atomic and molecular theory as given in first and second year undergraduate courses at university level. This book explains in non-mathematical terms where possible, the factors that govern covalent bond formation, the lengths and strengths of bonds and molecular shapes. Throughout the book, theoretical concepts and experimental evidence are integrated. An introductory chapter summarizes the principles on which the Periodic Table is established, and describes the periodicity of various atomic properties which are relevant to chemical bonding. Symmetry and group theory are introduced to serve as the basis of all molecular orbital treatments of molecules. This basis is then applied to a variety of covalent molecules with discussions of bond lengths and angles and hence molecular shapes. Extensive comparisons of valence bond theory and VSEPR theory with molecular orbital theory are included. Metallic bonding is related to electrical conduction and semi-conduction. The energetics of ionic bond formation and the transition from ionic to covalent bonding is also covered.

Atomic Structure and Periodicity presents basic atomic theory as given in first and second year courses at university. It demonstrates that the structure of the Periodic Table as we know it is based on sound principles. Throughout the book, theoretical concepts are presented, along with the experimental evidence for them. Foundations are laid in the introductory chapter, which deals with fundamental particles, electromagnetic radiation and Heisenberg's uncertainty principle. Atomic orbitals are then described, using a minimum of mathematics, followed by a discussion of the electron configurations of the elements. Further chapters reveal the relationships between the electronic configurations of the elements and some properties of their atoms; and the variations in the properties of their fluorides and oxides across the periods and down the groups of the Periodic Table.

Inorganic Chemistry in Aqueous Solution reviews the chemistry of the elements in all their oxidation states in an aqueous environment. The nature of ions in solution is described in some detail and enthalpies and entropies of hydration of many ions are defined and recalculated from the best data available. These values are used to provide an understanding of the periodicities of standard reduction potentials. Standard reduction potential data for all of the elements, group-by-group, covering the s and p, d and f blocks of the Periodic Table is also included. Major sections are devoted to the acid/base behaviour and the solubilities of inorganic compounds in water. Inorganic Chemistry in Aqueous Solution is aimed at undergraduate chemistry students but will also be welcomed by geologists interested in this field. Ideal for the needs of undergraduate chemistry students, Tutorial Chemistry Texts is a major series consisting of short, single topic or modular texts concentrating on the fundamental areas of chemistry taught in undergraduate science courses. Each book provides a concise account of the basic principles underlying a given subject, embodying an independent-learning philosophy and including worked examples.

This book addresses all those who wish or need or care to know about the “state of the art and the impact of modern chemistry upon the Earth’s environment and the quality of life itself. An introductory chapter gives a non-mathematical account of basic chemical knowledge needed to appreciate the effects of chemistry. Then follow examples of the significance and importance of selected chemical elements and compounds in our daily lives. The broad discussion shows how the physical sciences of physics, metallurgy, geology and engineering, and the biological sciences of biology, biochemistry and microbiology, have contributed and applied their scientific principles to our use of the Earth’s resources. There is interplay throughout on the industrial use of chemicals, and their beneficial and harmful effects.Dr. Barrett points out and highlights the numerous and beneficial contributions that chemists have made to industry, agriculture, medicine and other human activity. He also wears the mask of the Devil’s Advocate by sounding a warning note on the toxic and otherwise harmful effects and consequences that improper use of chemicals can bring about.Provides a comprehensive discussion of the impact of the science of chemistry upon our quality of lifeDelivers examples of the significance and importance of selected chemical elements and compounds in our daily livesDiscusses how the physical sciences of physics, metallurgy, geology and engineering have contributed and applied their scientific principles to our use of the Earth’s resources
