5.0 out of 5 stars
Wonderful,
By Downtown Mr. Brown "John" (Toronto) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Chemical Structure and Bonding (Paperback)
This book starts with the fundamentals of atomic structure and then builds on them until molecular orbital theory. Molecular orbital theory is developed for both organic and inorganic substances. Molecular orbital theory is used to explain the electronic structure of molecules, which is, of course, of fundamental importance to the chemist.
Bonding theories for organic and inorganic models are developed and a brief treatment is given on the solid state at the end of the book. This is a book that I often use as a reference. This book is versatile enough to refresh the chemist about bonding ideas in both organic and inorganic areas. It is not a particularly advanced book, but it was a pleasure for me to read and a good book to remind me of the basics when I need it.

Excellent and Succinct Treatment of Chemical Bonding,
By
This review is from: Chemical Structure and Bonding (Paperback)
This book was selected as one of the few textbooks for my undergraduate inorganic chemistry course. It discusses the concepts of atomic structure, atomic and molecular properties, molecular orbital theory, electronic structures, and frontier orbital theory in a very understandable and succinct way. The concepts and relationship between structure and bonding is built up progressively throughout the text. The fundamental concepts of bonding ideas that lead to the development of MO theory is discussed in a very logical manner, with applications to transition-metal complexes, solids, and liquids. Every chemistry student shall find this text very useful in explaining the essence of chemical bonding. It explains topics and aspects of chemical bonding about which general chemistry textbooks tell you not to worry about for the moment.

excellent!!!,
By Frank Bartlett (Berkeley, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Chemical Structure and Bonding (Paperback)
one of the best books in structure and bonding. the section on valence bond theory and photoelectronic spectra is excellent.. the writing is highly understandable and rarely confusing. highly recommended supplement for any inorganic chemistrytextbook.
