Inorganic chemistry is the study of the synthesis, structure, and behavior of organometallic and inorganic compounds—substances lacking carbon-hydrogen bonds. These compounds are typically classified into categories such as coordination compounds, transition metal complexes, cluster compounds, and bioinorganic compounds. The field is underpinned by foundational theories, including the Bohr model of the atom, ligand field theory, molecular orbital theory, density functional theory, VSEPR theory, and molecular symmetry group theory, all of which contribute to its theoretical and practical development. Inorganic chemistry plays a critical role in numerous industries, including catalysis, materials science, coatings, pigments, surfactants, and extends to applications in agriculture and medicine. This book is a compilation of chapters that discuss the most vital concepts in the field of inorganic chemistry. This book unfolds the innovative aspects of the discipline which will be crucial for the holistic understanding of the subject matter. Coherent flow of topics, student-friendly language and extensive use of examples make this book an invaluable source of knowledge.
