Inorganic chemistry is a crucial pillar of undergraduate chemistry education. The fourth edition of this text reaffirms its importance by offering enhanced stimulation, insights, and support for students to grasp the fundamentals. The new author team, with a strong background in teaching and research, has completely revised the book to improve accessibility. They have expanded explanations, adopted a less formal writing style, and assumed a lower level of mathematical and chemical knowledge, while maintaining the depth and rigor of previous editions. Coverage of the chemistry of the elements has been extended, providing a solid framework for students' understanding. The new edition aims to inspire students with 'Frontiers' chapters on contemporary topics such as materials science, nanotechnology, biological inorganic chemistry, and environmental chemistry. These chapters, along with real-life examples, encourage engagement with the subject. The text features a new full-color design to further stimulate and engage students. An Online Resource Centre complements the book, offering 3D rotating molecular models, electronic illustrations, web links, and additional questions, with a solutions manual available for adopters.
