Rodgers Descriptive inorganic, coordination, and solid state chemistry / By Glen E. Rodgers 3rd ed Belmont: Brooks/Cole, Cengage Learning, 2012. xxviii, p. : ill.; 26 cm. Includes bibliographical references and index Descriptive Inorganic, Coordination, and Solid-State Chemistry by Glen E. Rodgers is an undergraduate inorganic chemistry textbook that introduces the fundamental principles of coordination chemistry, solid-state chemistry, and descriptive chemistry of the elements. The book adopts a “less is more” approach, focusing on essential concepts and trends rather than overwhelming students with extensive factual details. It is organized into three largely independent sections: coordination chemistry, solid-state chemistry, and the descriptive chemistry of representative elements, allowing flexible study and instruction. The text emphasizes chemical behavior, periodic trends, structures, bonding, applications, and historical developments, while connecting seemingly diverse topics through an integrated framework called the “Network of Interconnected Ideas.” Written in a clear and conversational style, the book provides a strong foundation for students beginning the study of inorganic chemistry. Keywords: Inorganic chemistry, coordination compounds, crystal field theory, solid-state chemistry, main-group elements, periodic trends, chemical bonding, descriptive chemistry. http://172.20.27.22:4000/handle/123456789/190 Science Coordination compounds http://172.20.27.22:4000/handle/123456789/190 http://172.20.27.22:4000/handle/123456789/190 lcc BK 0 4461 4461 0 0 lcc 0 0 SCI DL DL SCI QD1–QE601 2026-06-11 0 DUCE QD474 .R63 2026-06-11 10:18:47 2026-06-11 BK
