Includes bibliographical references (page 181) and index.
Bonding and composition. -- The structure of ionic compounds: closet packing. -- The symmetry of crystals. -- The structure of some simple closet-packed compounds. -- Factors that affect the symmetry of the unit cell. -- Physical properties: morphology. -- Physical properties: color. -- Chemical properties. -- Appendices: The periodic chart ; The elements: symbols, melting points, boiling points, densities, and electronegatives ; Metallic, covalent, and ionic radii ; Quartz ; Crystal system identification practice ; Crystal systems and classes.
Ionic Compounds: Applications of Chemistry to Mineralogy introduces the 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.
