Understanding Ionic Compounds and the Applications of Chemistry to Mineralogy.DUBLIN, Ireland -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c43796) has announced the addition of Ionic Compounds In chemistry, an ionic compound is a chemical compound in which ions are held together in a lattice structure by ionic bonds. The positively charged ion is usually a metal ion and the negatively charged ion is non-metallic element or molecule. : Applications of Chemistry to Mineralogy mineralogy Scientific study of minerals, including their physical properties, chemical composition, internal crystal structure, occurrence and distribution in nature, and origins or conditions of formation. to their offering. An introduction to ionic compounds for both mineralogists The following are mineralogists: : Top - 0–9 A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z A
This book introduces students to fundamental principles for understanding the structure and bonding interactions in many minerals. There is an emphasis on the relationship between atomic-level structure and the symmetry and properties of crystalline materials. The book encourages active readership by following the sections with questions and answers. This book can serve as both a companion text for mineralogy, geochemistry geochemistry, study of the chemical changes on the earth. More specifically, it is the study of the absolute and relative abundances of chemical elements in the minerals, soils, ores, rocks, water, and atmosphere of the earth and the distribution and movement of , or inorganic chemistry inorganic chemistry, the study of all the elements and their compounds with the exception of carbon and its compounds, which fall under the category of organic chemistry. courses and an excellent reference for those interested in minerals. Mineralogy and chemistry find their paths intertwined in many ways. Minerals afford chemists interesting examples of simple and complex structures, as well as practical applications of bonding, symmetry, and thermodynamics thermodynamics, branch of science concerned with the nature of heat and its conversion to mechanical, electric, and chemical energy. Historically, it grew out of efforts to construct more efficient heat engines—devices for extracting useful work from expanding . Concurrently, the relevant chemistry enriches the mineralogists view with a grasp of such aspects as structure, stability, and reactivity. This introduction to ionic compounds bridges the two disciplines by explaining the concepts that are used by the chemist and mineralogist min·er·al·o·gy n. pl. min·er·al·o·gies 1.

The lively style uses questions and answers throughout as a means to both engage the reader and enhance their understanding of the material. Ionic Compounds: Applications of Chemistry to Mineralogy conveys the fundamental principles of the structure and bonding in minerals and emphasizes the relationship of structure at the atomic level to the symmetry and properties of crystals. The book covers: -- Bonding and composition -- Structure of ionic compounds, including close-packing -- The symmetry of crystals -- Factors that affect the symmetry of the unit cell -- Morphology and color -- Chemical properties Requiring no knowledge of either chemistry or mineralogy beyond the typical secondary school level, Ionic Compounds is an accessible and highly useful reference for both professional scientists, students, and the serious mineral collector who can benefit from a deeper understanding of the chemical and crystallographic crys·tal·log·ra·phy n.
