I. David Brown

The Chemical Bond in Inorganic Chemistry: The Bond Valence Model

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book shows how chemical properties arise naturally from the conflict between the constraints of chemistry and those of three-dimensional space. Accessible to anyone with secondary school knowledge of chemistry and physics, the bond valence model is widely used for analysing and modelling the structures and properties of solids and liquids.
