Reviews
This valuable addition to the ranks of introductory inorganic chemistry texts is recommended. The approach to electronic and bonding theory is a strong point. Chapters on electronic configuration diatomic molecules, polyatomics and metals and finally, ionic compounds, add up to a thorough grounding. That it should be recommended to all who teach at this level and to all departmental libraries is, however, indisputable., Chemistry in Britain
Very clear, and one of the few books at this level to introduce group theory and use it throughout the remainder of the book., Professor J.K. Nagle, Bowdoin University, USA
