This extensive overview combines both instrumental and radiochemical techniques with qualitative and quantitative (volumetric and gravimetric) analyses, and also with preparation of compounds, thereby strengthening analytical and preparative skills. All the main elements and groups of the periodic table are covered, with emphasis on the transition metals. It is intended as a laboratory manual for undergraduate, Higher National Diploma and Certificate students and their tutors.- Covers all the main elements and groups of the periodic table, with emphasis on the transition metals- Combines instrumental and radiochemical techniques with qualitative and quantitative (volumetric and gravimetric) analyses- Intended as a laboratory manual for undergraduate, Higher National Diploma and Certificate students and their tutors
