Features: This book is the third volume of the "Chemistry Core Course Series Textbooks for the National Engineering Chemistry Basic Course Teaching Base (Hunan University)." It is typically taught after "Fundamental Physical Chemistry (Volumes I and II)." The book emphasizes general applicability to both science and engineering, with chapters that may not be covered in some engineering disciplines marked with an asterisk. Unlike traditional textbooks, this one excludes overlapping content between inorganic and physical chemistry while incorporating cutting-edge topics in inorganic chemistry. The book consists of fourteen chapters, with the first seven covering classic inorganic chemistry topics: Solvent Chemistry, Fundamentals of Coordination Chemistry, s-Block Elements, p-Block Elements, Noble Gases, d-Block Elements, f-Block Elements (Lanthanides and Actinides); Chapter 8 is dedicated to Qualitative Analysis of Elements; Chapter 9 covers Nuclear Chemistry; Chapters 10–14 present advanced topics in inorganic chemistry, including Bioinorganic Chemistry, Inorganic Synthesis Chemistry, Solid-State Chemistry, Inorganic Materials Chemistry, and Organometallic Chemistry. Each chapter begins with an outline, followed by a summary and exercises. Additionally, the book includes engaging supplementary materials such as scientist biographies, scientific outlooks, and brief knowledge introductions to enhance learning efficiency and enjoyment. This book can serve as a textbook for chemistry, applied chemistry, chemical engineering, materials science, biology, environmental science, and other related disciplines in higher education institutions, as well as a reference for professionals and self-learners.
