Book Description
The 5th edition of Inorganic Chemistry by Shriver and Atkins is an integral part of a student's chemistry education. With the same broad coverage as its predecessors - making it the ideal companion for the duration of the undergraduate degree program - the Fifth Edition expands the basic concepts of inorganic chemistry to the forefront of contemporary research. The book seeks not only to impart knowledge, but to engage and excite its readers. Its unique "Frontiers" chapters cover materials science, nanotechnology, catalysis, and inorganic biochemistry, and have been fully updated to reflect advances in these key areas of contemporary industrial research and application. Moreover, examples everywhere demonstrate the importance of inorganic chemistry for real-life situations, to encourage students to be fully involved in the topic. Inorganic chemistry extends to a large group of elements, which students should be aware of their distinctive similarities and differences. Inorganic chemistry rises to this challenge by identifying the main trends presented in the periodic table, and through the constituent elements of each group. These trends and behaviors are highlighted with illustrative examples, placing the content in clear and relevant context. The online resource center contains: For students: Group theory tables - Comprehensive group theory tables available to download videos of chemical reactions - Videos showing some major chemical experiments - Web links - Web links to a set of additional physical chemistry resources on the web - Rotatable Molecular Structures Almost all of the book's numbered structures are in a rotatable form. Self-Tests and Exercise Answers for Book Registered Adopters: Artworks and Spreadsheets - Electronic versions of shapes, compositions, and tables are available from the book for downloading shapes in PPT - Almost all numbers are available in PPT Molecular Modeling Problems - in Word format

Atkins left school (Dr. Chaloner Grammar School, Amersham) at the age of fifteen and worked at Monsanto as a lab assistant. He studied for A-levels himself and secured a place, after a last minute interview, at the University of Leicester. Atkins studied chemistry there, earning a bachelor's degree in chemistry and a doctorate in 1964 for research in electron spin resonance spectroscopy, and other aspects of theoretical chemistry. Atkins then took a post-doctoral position at UCLA as a Harknes Fellow at the Commonwealth Trust. [1] He returned to Britain in 1965 as Fellow and Instructor at Lincoln College, Oxford, and Lecturer in Physical Chemistry (later, Professor of Physical Chemistry). In 1969, he was awarded the Meldola Medal by the Royal Society of Chemistry. In 1996 he was awarded the honorary title of Professor of Chemistry. He retired in 2007, and has since become a full-time writer. [2] He received honorary doctorates from Utrecht University, University of Leicester (where he sits on the University Court), Mendeleev University in Moscow, and Kazan State Technological University. He was a member of the board of the Royal Institution and the Royal Society of Chemistry. He was the founding chair of the IUPAC Committee on Chemistry Education, and a trustee of a variety of charities. Atkins has taught courses in Quantum Mechanics, Quantum Chemistry and Thermodynamics (up to graduation level) at the University of Oxford. He is one of the sponsors of the Oxford University Scientific Society. In 2016, Atkins was awarded the James T.Grady-James H. Stack Award for Interpreting Chemistry to the Public from the American Chemical Society.
