This is an advanced treatise in modern Inorganic Chemistry, dealing with the theoretical principals and chemistries of the elements and their principal compounds, with information on some of the most recent significant development, as outlined in the preface. The book is therefore not a mere syllabus oriented textbook and is meant to be of use for those interested in having a fairly comprehensive knowledge in the subject.
