SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on essential topics covered in inorganic chemistry textbooks, specifically highlighting the need for coverage of s, p, d block elements, metallurgy, qualitative analysis, and coordination chemistry. The participant currently uses "Concise Inorganic Chemistry" by JD Lee and seeks textbooks that match the depth of "March's Advanced Organic Chemistry" or "Atkins Chemical Principles." Key concepts such as the solubility of carbonates and sulfates are emphasized as necessary inclusions in these resources.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of s, p, d block elements in inorganic chemistry
  • Familiarity with metallurgy principles
  • Knowledge of qualitative analysis techniques
  • Basic concepts of coordination chemistry
NEXT STEPS
  • Research "March's Advanced Organic Chemistry" for comparative analysis
  • Explore "Atkins Chemical Principles" for foundational concepts
  • Investigate additional resources on qualitative analysis in inorganic chemistry
  • Look into solubility rules for carbonates and sulfates in detail
USEFUL FOR

Students and educators in chemistry, particularly those focusing on inorganic chemistry, as well as anyone seeking comprehensive textbooks that cover advanced topics in the field.

I am looking for inorganic chemistry textbooks that covers topics on s,p,d block elements, metallurgy, qualitative analysis, and coordination chemistry. It should contain basic concepts like solubities of carbonates,sulphates, and should be at the level of "March's advanced organic chemistry" or "Atkins chemical principles".
I am using " Concise Inorganic chemistry by JD.Lee" right now.
(While solving problems, I encountered questions like which of the compounds are black in colour, etc. So the book should contain all information).
 
Physics news on Phys.org
I am afraid my knowledge about books is limited to the Polish ones, or to those that were translated. Neither on the ones I can think of fits.
 
ok.
