Über diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe

Presenting a systematic approach to the chemistry of the p Block elements and hydrogen, this book also introduces some basic topics concerning chemical bonding, such as oxidation numbers, bond strengths, dipole moments and intermolecular forces. The chemistry is illustrated by coverage of the biological role of nitric oxide and of hydrogen bonding, and the new chemistry of carbon nanotubes. Applied aspects of the topic are developed in the two Case Studies, which examine the causes and prevention of acid rain and the inorganic chemical industry. The accompanying CD-ROMs cover silicate mineral structures, the inert pair effect and a database of chemical reactions of the p Block elements. The Molecular World series provides an integrated introduction to all branches of chemistry for both students wishing to specialise and those wishing to gain a broad understanding of chemistry and its relevance to the everyday world and to other areas of science. The books, with their Case Studies and accompanying multi-media interactive CD-ROMs, will also provide valuable resource material for teachers and lecturers. (The CD-ROMs are designed for use on a PC running Windows 95, 98, ME or 2000.)

Críticas

"... much to commend ... to the inquisitive sixth-former and also to the teacher ... cannot be more highly recommended." * School Science Review, Issue No 308, 2003 * "... well-produced undergraduate textbook on the chemistry of the p-block elements ... The text is brought to life by clear figures and photographs, ranging from beautifully coloured crystals of silicate minerals to carbon nanotubes under an electron microscope ... the CD-ROMs could also be useful to the lecturer given safety constraints in lecture theatres ..." * Education in Chemistry, November 2003 *
