Features: This edition significantly enhances the practical knowledge of element chemistry and includes additional research-oriented exercises to stimulate students' interest in the subject. The book is published in two volumes. The first volume is divided into three parts: Matter Structure, Chemical Thermodynamics, and Principles of Aqueous Solution Chemistry. It introduces atomic structure and periodicity, molecular structure, crystal chemistry, coordination compounds, thermodynamic functions, chemical equilibrium, fundamentals of chemical kinetics, and the four major equilibrium principles of acids and bases, precipitation, oxidation-reduction, and coordination. The authors believe that chemical principles should serve as a foundation for first-year students learning other chemistry courses, avoiding repetition at the same level as middle school or subsequent courses. They strive to make the fourth edition innovative, well-structured, focused, flexible, easy to teach and learn, and widely applicable. The second volume contains four, five, and six parts: Nonmetallic Element Chemistry, Metallic Element Chemistry, and Selected Topics in Inorganic Chemistry.
