New Chapter Openers
Each chapter opens with a Context, an aspect of inorganic chemistry which impinges on us in one way or another. Each of these contexts is intended to be thought-provoking and also ties in with an aspect of the chapter content. Topics include:
- the greenhouse effect
- ionic solvents and green chemistry
- carbon nanotubes or graphene
- ADP and ATP
- fluoridation of water and tooth decay?
- the danger of radon
- why is zinc so biologically important?
- lasers or nuclear power
