Concise Inorganic Chemistry

0.0

This textbook is divided into six parts: theoretical concepts and hydrogen, the s-block, the p-block, the d-block, the f-block, and other topics (the nucleus and spectra). It focuses on the commercial exploitation of inorganic chemicals and the treatment of the inorganic aspects of environmental chemistry.
