Valency [E-Book] / by M. F. O’Dwyer, J. E. Kent, R. D. Brown.
This book was written after one of us published two editions of a smaller book (Atomic Structure and Valency by R. D. Brown, 1961 and 1966) and from the experiences of all three of us teaching a first-year university course in valency at Monash University. Our object has been to give enough of an hi...
