Selected Topics in Inorganic Chemistry

Selected Topics in Inorganic Chemistry By Wahid U. Malik, G.D. Tuli & R.D. Madan

Selected Topics in Inorganic Chemistry by Wahid U. Malik, G.D. Tuli, and R.D. Madan is a comprehensive textbook discussing the theoretical aspects of inorganic chemistry, thoroughly revised and updated for B.Sc. (Honours) and M.Sc. students of Indian and Pakistani universities. The uniqueness of the book lies in its treatment of all fundamental concepts, such as structure of the atom, chemical bonding, inner transition elements, and coordination chemistry, with a modern approach. Illustration of the text with relevant line diagrams and tabular presentation of data makes understanding of complex concepts lucid and simple.

Topics commonly covered include:

• Structure of the atom (quantum, mechanical, and wave mechanical approach)

• Extended or long form of the periodic table

• Periodic properties

• Chemical bonding and nature of the covalent bond

• Modern concepts of acids and bases

• Non-aqueous solvents

• Transition elements (d-block elements)

• Lanthanides or rare earths (4f block elements)

• Actinides (5f block elements)

• Basic concepts of coordination chemistry

• Oxidation and reduction

• Hard and soft acids and bases (HSAB)

• Splitting of metal ion d-orbitals in crystal fields

• Jahn-Teller effect and distortion in octahedral and tetrahedral complexes

• Electronic absorption spectra of transition metal complexes

Key features:

• Comprehensive coverage of theoretical inorganic chemistry with a modern approach

• Extensive use of line diagrams and tabular data for simplified understanding

• Thoroughly revised and updated edition based on current university syllabi

• Detailed treatment of transition metals, lanthanides, and actinides

• In-depth coverage of coordination chemistry and complex compounds

• Designed specifically for advanced undergraduate and postgraduate study

Perfect for:

• B.Sc. (Honours) Chemistry students

• M.Sc. Chemistry students

• Students specializing in inorganic chemistry

• Faculty teaching advanced inorganic chemistry courses

• Students preparing for chemistry postgraduate entrance exams
