A comprehensive introduction to concepts used by inorganic chemists to describe the structure, properties, and reactivity of compounds of the main group elements. The most important concepts covered are: Electronic fine structure of atoms, symmetry, VSEPR, VB and MO theory, theory of acids and bases, structure of solids, trends in the periodic system, survey of typical main group elements compounds and their reactivity.
