Description

'... there has long been a need for a dedicated monograph on the subject... a highly readable book about a theory that, though it has long found application in inorganic crystal chemistry, deserves to be used more widely.' Crystallography NewsThe bond valence model is a recently developed model of the chemical bond in inorganic chemistry that complements the bond model widely used in organic chemistry. It is simple, quantitative, intuitive, and predictive - no more than a pocket calculator is needed to calculate it. This book focuses on the theory that underlies the model, and shows how it has been used in physics, materials science, chemistry, mineralogy, soil science, and molecular biology.
