Descriptive Inorganic Chemistry de Geoff Rayner-Canham

Descriptive Inorganic Chemistry

Autor Geoff Rayner-Canham, Tina Overton
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 22 dec 2013
This text introduces descriptive inorganic chemistry in a less mathematical way, using the periodic table as a context for exploring chemical properties and uncovering relationships between elements in different groups. The sixth edition offers new study tools, expanded coverage of biological applications, and new help with problem-solving.

Notă biografică

Geoff Rayner-Canham is Professor of Chemistry at the Grenfell Campus of Memorial University of Newfoundland, Canada. After having completing a Ph.D. in transition metal chemistry at Imperial College, London, England, he has spent the bulk of his teaching career in Canada with frequent sabbatical leaves at such diverse places as the Colorado School of Mines, the University of California, Santa Cruz, and the University of York. Being unable to find an inorganic chemistry text which used the concepts to explain the properties and uses of the chemical elements and compounds, he joined forces with Tina Overton to author Descriptive Inorganic Chemistry. Geoff has authored many publications relevant to the teaching of inorganic chemistry, including several on novel aspects of the Periodic Table. Recognition of his contributions to the teaching of chemistry have included the Chemistry Education Award of the Chemical Institute of Canada, and the National Science and Engineering Research Council of Canada PromoScience Award. Researching the life and work of pioneering women chemists is another of his activities, this work resulting in several books co-authored with Marelene Rayner-Canham.

Tina Overton is Professor of Chemistry Education at the University of Hull, UK. She is deeply engaged in chemical education research, and has published extensively on the topics of critical thinking, context and problem-based learning, and the development of problem-solving skills. She has been awarded the Royal Society of Chemistry's HE Teaching Award, Tertiary Education Award and Nyholm Prize, and is a National Teaching Fellow and Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy.

Caracteristici noi

New Contextual Chapter Openers show how the chapter content relates to the real world. Each of these contexts is intended to be thought-provoking and ties in with an aspect of the chapter. They include:

* the greenhouse effect
* ionic solvents and green chemistry
* carbon nanotubes or graphene
* ADP and ATP
* fluoridation of water and tooth decay?
* the danger of radon
* why is zinc so biologically important?
* lasers or nuclear power


New Worked Examples encourage the development of problem-solving skills with representative examples that guide students to the solution step-by-step.



New Discoveries have been added to show that descriptive inorganic chemistry is alive and well as the 21st century progresses.


Updated Biological Aspects sections, at the end of chapters, help increase the book's appeal to the many life sciences students who take the course.



Updated Videos of inorganic chemical compounds and reactions (via the BCS).



Comparative Predominance Diagrams have been added, where appropriate, to provide a visual display of which species of an element or ion are present under specific conditions.
