This book is a revision guide aimed largely at first-year undergraduates. The format is A4-sized two-page spreads (no colour) and covers various topics within inorganic chemistry. Organised primarily around the Periodic Table, many of the topics address the chemistry of an element or element grouping. Other topics focus upon key concepts underlying the chemistry of the p- and d-block elements, atoms and bonding, and industrial processes and applications of the element groupings.

A photograph of a teacher standing in a white lab coat, speaking with a class of children in a laboratory, is superimposed on a colourful background. Text reads "Teach Chemistry means support for classroom and staff room".
