The global aim of Inorganic Chemistry is to develop basic principles concerning the structure and reactivity of chemical species in order that students can apply them in a systematic study of chemical compounds, in general, and inorganic compounds in particular. The objective is to emphasize the relationship and dependence between the bonding and the structure of compounds and their properties and chemical behaviour in such a way that studies can be extended to other species not been expressly described.
