The current textbook is an excellent inroduction to the chemistry of the non-metallic elements. The book begins by reviewing the key theoretical concepts of chemical bonding and the properties of different bonding types. Subsequent chapters are focused on reactions, structures and applications of the non-metallic compounds. Combining careful pedagogy and clear writing style, the textbook is a must-have for students studying inorganic chemistry.

Presents the structure, uses, and origins of some of the most common nonmetallic elements.

„Das Buch von Steudel bietet eine sehr lesenswerte und gut verständliche Darstellung wesentlicher Inhalte der Anorganischen Molekülchemie. Nach einer Einführung in die Chemische Bindung widmet sich das Werk der Stoffchemie der Hauptgruppenelemente.“ Prof. Dr. Michael Ruck, TU Dresden
