Sections A-E discuss the general concepts of atomic structure, periodicity, structure and bonding, and solution chemistry. The following Sections F-I cover different areas of the periodic table in a more descriptive way, although in Section H some concepts that are peculiar to the study of transition metals are also discussed. The final section describes some aspects of inorganic chemistry in the world outside the laboratory. 

Electrons and An atom consists of a very small positively charged nucleus, surrounded by negative electrons nuclei held by electrostatic attraction. The motion of electrons changes when chemical bonds are formed, nuclei being unaltered. 

Nuclear Nuclei contain positive protons and uncharged neutrons. The number of protons is the atomic structure number (Z) of an element. The attractive strong interaction between protons and neutrons is opposed by electrostatic repulsion between protons. Repulsion dominates as Z increases and there is only a limited number of stable elements. 

Isotopes Isotopes are atoms with the same atomic number but different numbers of neutrons. Many elements consist naturally of mixtures of isotopes, with very similar chemical properties.
