By Rix Quinn

The chemistry of the nonmetals has experienced enormous advances during the last decade. Compounds which were considered 'impossible' can now be prepared and characterized, and with the aid of modern quantum chemical methods, this leads to a new understanding of chemical bonding. Finally, here is a book which takes these developments into account. It guides the student from the classical chemistry of the elements to the frontiers of current research. It is the ideal companion for undergraduate and graduate courses in inorganic chemistry which cover nonmetals chemistry, maingroup element chemistry, and molecular structure. Additionally, the detailed appendix makes this book a handy reference for physical data, many of them are otherwise difficult to find.
