Inorganic chemistry is an extensive subject that at first sight can seem daunting. We have made every effort to help by organizing the information in this textbook systematically, and by including numerous features that are designed to make learning inorganic chemistry more effective and more enjoyable. Key pointsThe key points act as a summary of the main take-home message(s) of the section that follows. They will alert you to the principal ideas being introduced.Context boxesThe numerous Context boxes illustrate the diversity of inorganic chemistry and its applications to advanced materials, industrial processes, environmental chemistry, and everyday life, and are set out distinctly from the text itself.Further readingEach chapter lists sources where more information can be found. We have tried to ensure that these sources are easily available and have indicated the type of information each one provided.Resource sectionAt the back of the book is a collection of resources, including an extensive data section and information relating to group theory and spectroscopy.Examples and Self-testsWe have provided numerous worked examples throughout the text. Each one illustrates an important aspect of the topic under discussion or provides practice with calculations and problems.Each Example is followed by a Self-test, where the answer is provided as a check that the method has been mastered. Think of Self-tests as in-chapter exercises designed to help you monitor your progress.ExercisesThere are many brief Exercises at the end of each chapter. Answers are found in the Answers section and fully worked answers are available in the separate Solutions manual The Exercises can be used to check your understanding and gain experience and practice in tasks such as balancing equations, predicting and drawing structures, and manipulating data.ProblemsThe Problems are more demanding in content and style than the Exercises and are often based on a research paper or other additional source of information.
