Product Description
Review
"This book is a great summary and overview on bonding. It presents the different bonding theories in chronological sequence and consequently increasing complexity, from the discovery of sub-atomic particles to MO theory. Great synthesis and review of topic for upperclassmen; good illustrations and introduction for underclassmen."--Dr. Susan Marine, Centre College
Product Description
This short text is intended for first year undergraduates and introduces some concepts of chemical bonding in a clear, descriptive and essentially non-mathematical fashion. This text will find a place alongside textbooks containing more detailed formal coverage and mathematical descriptions. This book could form the basis of a 8-12 lecture introductory course on chemmcal bonding. The book addresses aspects of atomic orbital structure and uses this to develop a discussion of the bonding in diatomic and polyatomic molecules using Lewis dot structures, hybrid orbital, and molecular orbital methods. The prediction of molecular shape is addresses through the VSEPR method.

Format:Paperback
Every first year chemistry undergraduate should own this book. It is inexpensive and provides excellent background reading as well as being an accurate summary of a lot of the inorganic chemistry undertaken in the first year.
Need to know about Hybridization? MO Theory? Need to revise Lewis Structures and electron accountancy? This is your first stop and has all the information you need in.
It's good stuff!
-As a side note, the author is one of my lecturers (University of Sheffield). He is excellent and this book is a great way to get his knowledge to you.
-He also created webelements, home of the internets first periodic table and an excellent source of reliable information.

This book was recommended to me and the people in my Chemistry course for much of the introductory chemistry we are currently doing, by most lecturers (including (modestly) Mark Winter himself).
This book is like it says, about Chemical Bonding, this means it goes over the theory of bonding including why our current theories of bonding are as they are based on atomic structure and then goes over in efficient detail about the different models of bonding we have e.g. Lewis Models, Valence Bond Theory and Molecular Orbital Theory, and also VSEPR which is used to determine the most likely shape of a molecule which then ties in with the other theories.
As you will find that these theories sit well and truly in the realm of inorganic chemistry but basically underpins pretty much ALL Chemistry whether it is physical or organic, so is essential to any person wanting to do Chemistry in any capacity, probably why we are being told to learn it now in my first semester of my first year at university.
