Understanding the principles of inorganic chemistry including chemical bonding, frontier molecular orbital theory, electron transfer processes, formation of (nano) particles, transition metal-ligand complexes, metal catalysis and more are essential to describe earth processes over time scales ranging from 1 nanosec to 1 Gigayr. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThroughout the book, fundamental chemical principles are illustrated with relevant examples from geochemistry, environmental and marine chemistry, allowing students to better understand environmental and geochemical processes at the molecular level.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTopics covered include: \u003cbr\u003e• Thermodynamics and kinetics of redox reactions \u003cbr\u003e• Atomic structure\u003cbr\u003e• Symmetry\u003cbr\u003e• Covalent bonding, and bonding in solids and nanoparticles\u003cbr\u003e• Frontier Molecular Orbital Theory\u003cbr\u003e• Acids and bases\u003cbr\u003e• Basics of transition metal chemistry including \u003cbr\u003e• Chemical reactivity of materials of geochemical and environmental interest\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSupplementary material is provided online, including PowerPoint slides, problem sets and solutions. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eInorganic Chemistry for Geochemistry and Environmental Sciences is a rapid assimilation textbook for those studying and working in areas of geochemistry, inorganic chemistry and environmental chemistry, wishing to enhance their understanding of environmental processes from the molecular level to the global level.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProfessor George W.

As he moved into environmental and marine chemistry, he began using environmental examples in inorganic chemistry. In 1988, he started a similar course titled 'Marine Inorganic Chemistry' that has been taught biannually at the University of Delaware, attracting students in Chemical Oceanography, Chemistry and Biochemistry, Geology \/ Geochemistry, Civil and Environmental Engineering and Plant and Soil Science.\u003cbr\u003eIn 2013, Professor Luther was awarded the Geochemistry Division Medal by the American Chemical Society for his wide-ranging contributions to aqueous geochemistry. He is recognised for the application of physical inorganic chemistry to the transfer of electrons between chemical compounds in the environment, and also the development of chemical sensors for quantifying the presence of elements and compounds in natural waters.\u003cbr\u003eProfessor Luther was named a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in 2011 and the American Geophysical Union in 2012. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e08 August 2016\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWiley\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWiley\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9781118851371\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e456\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight (oz): \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e40.0\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44383974981772,"sku":"9781118851371","price":101.66,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781118851371_bbbb9d90-6573-4ca6-b66d-d74366e3be04.jpg?v=1780202019","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781118851371","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
