This dictionary is one of a series covering the terminology and concepts used
in important branches of science. The Facts on File Dictionary of Inorganic
Chemistry has been designed as an additional source of information for students
taking Advanced Placement (AP) Science courses in high schools. It
will also be helpful to older students taking introductory college courses.
This volume covers inorganic chemistry and includes basic concepts in physical
chemistry, classes of compound, reaction mechanisms, and many important
named inorganic compounds. The entries on individual chemical
elements are designed to give a basic survey of the chemistry of the element.
The definitions are intended to be clear and informative and, where possible,
we have illustrations of chemical structures. The book also has a selection
of short biographical entries for people who have made important
contributions to the field. There are appendixes providing a list of all the
chemical elements and a periodic table. A short list of useful webpages and
a bibliography are also included.
The book will be a helpful additional source of information for anyone
studying the AP Chemistry course, especially the section on Descriptive
Chemistry. It will also be useful to students of metallurgy and other related
fields.
