This textbook thorough investigation of Inorganic Chemistry. The section on Organic Chemistry provides an introduction to the subject for those who have little to no knowledge or experience in the subject. The authors have covered areas of Inorganic Chemistry in great detail that will be useful to students in the university and beyond. The textbook is very comprehensive and very readable with the updates to the third edition based on user feedback.
