Features: This book is one of the series "Chemical Mainstream Courses Textbooks of Hunan University," and it is typically taught after the basic physical chemistry course. The book emphasizes high-tech and engineering universality, with chapters that some engineering majors may not need marked with an asterisk in the upper left corner of their numbering. The book does not include content that overlaps between traditional inorganic chemistry and physical chemistry, but it adds some cutting-edge topics in inorganic chemistry. The book consists of 14 chapters, with the first 8 chapters covering classic inorganic chemistry content, namely: Fundamentals of Inorganic Chemistry, Acid-Base Theory and Solvent Chemistry, Coordination Chemistry Fundamentals, s-Block Elements, p-Block Elements, d-Block Elements, f-Block Elements, and Lanthanide Elements. Chapter 9 is on Qualitative Analysis of Elements. Chapter 10 is on Nuclear Chemistry. Chapters 11–14 cover some cutting-edge topics in inorganic chemistry, namely: Bioinorganic Chemistry, Inorganic Solid Chemistry, Inorganic Materials Chemistry, and Organometallic Chemistry. Each chapter begins with an outline of the content, followed by a summary and exercises. Additionally, selected interesting reading materials are included, such as biographies of scientists, scientific outlooks, and brief introductions to knowledge, to enhance the readers' learning enjoyment and efficiency. This book can serve as a textbook for undergraduate students in chemistry, applied chemistry, chemical engineering, materials, biology, and environmental science at higher technical and normal universities, as well as for relevant technical personnel and self-learners for study and reference.
