Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

A systematic and descriptive approach to the first facts of inorganic chemistry: the correlations and connections among properties, structures, reactivities, periodicities and behaviours of the elements and their compounds. The book discusses bonding based on the overlap criterion of bond strength, the rigors of bonding being presented without developing the math.

Includes index.
