The bestselling textbook inorganic chemistry text on the market covers both theoretical and descriptive aspects of the subject, and emphasizes experimental methods, industrial applications, and modern topics.
Systematic Inorganic Review
| Customer Rating: | | Product was as expected, but the shrink-wrap was too tight and so the cover was bent slightly. Overall smooth transaction. |
list of alternative titles for inorganic chemistry
| Customer Rating: | wow, I see lots of people don't like Atkins. Read my listmania list ("fundamentals of inorganic chemistry") for other titles worth considering and then do yourself a favor and buy Concise Inorganic Chemistry by J.D. Lee - not many people are aware of this fine book.
If looking for a decent book on symmetry, group theory check out my "symmetry and group theory for chemistry students" list. These titles are for students - i.e. not designed to impress the professoriate. |
Terrible
| Customer Rating: | This textbook is terrible. I am currently taking an intro level Inorganic chemistry course, and find that the text does a horrible job of explaining the concepts. It may be that to some professors this textbooks seems like it is fairly well written, but simply because they already understand the material.
If you are looking for a textbook to actually learn inorganic chemistry, do not get this book. The topics aren't very explained and the overall setup of the book is terrible.
The only good thing about this book is that it can be very useful if you are in a hurry on your way to class and have to go to the bathroom, only to find that there is no more toilet paper ... it might not be as comfortable as two ply toilet paper, but it gets the job done. |
An Undesirable Text
| Customer Rating: | For me, the utility of a chemistry text is defined in simple terms. Does it help me complete the homework assignments? Does it explain things in a way that my professor does not? Does it stand alone, apart from the instruction of my professor?
I took an Inorganic course to fill a deficiency and so I bought this book. I found it to be very disappointing. The explanations of key concepts (such as term symbols and crystal field theory) is lacking and the problems that the text works out seem esoteric and too terse for someone trying to connect the dots.
I like the Tarr and Mieslier text better. |
Inorganic Professor
| Customer Rating: | | I recently got a copy of this text from the publisher (for review purposes). So I took a look and then read some of the reviews here. Let me just say that "Angry Inorganic Student" is way off base. I've taught out of both Huyeey, Keiter & Keiter and Douglas, McDaniel & Alexander. Both are ok and this one is no worse. In fact I think it has a nice fresh look that updates the materials in the "old standard" textbooks. I found the sections on solid-state materials, nanomaterials and bioinorganic timely and appropriate. I may even consider switching to this textbook when I teach senior inorganic in the spring term. |
